Oden or Odin?

[rhyn0]

What is the correct spelling of it?
I have seen it spelt both ways, personally I think it's spelt Oden.
Anyone agree with me or can anyone prove me wrong?
Thanks.

In the songs they use Oden, but I know in Dutch it's Odin

 

[Zeleni.Zub]

it's Odin in english...

 

[yllmar]

There are even more spellings for the name... Woten, Woden, Wotan, Odhinn... I'm sure there are many others, depending on the dialect.

by the old Germans there wasn`t Odin, only WOTAN (Godfather of all time-Hail WOTAN)
But if you want to know, in Germany it is ODIN!

Cheers Brothers!!

I see it spelled "Odin" more often, so Odin it is.

Wodhanaz is the oldest form i believe
Wotan is the same as Oden, just different dialects
means 'the raging' or something, compare to german Wut

Check a number of the old threads with the same question before you post, though.

All of those names are the correct spelling, take your pick. Some are from older Scandinavian tongues, some are more modern versions, and others are other Germanic versions of the same name. You have to take into consideration that all Germanic peoples (Norwegians, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Faroese, Germans, Austrians, Dutch, English, etc.) basically worshipped the same deities but their names were in different forms. In addition Odin also has a shit load of kennings: http://www.angelfire.com/on/Wodensharrow/odennamn2.html

Really? that's pretty cool and ironic because that's the tattoo I'm going to get on my left shoulder next month only with certain runes coming from each stave. I just have to wait for the right time to get it done so I can consecrate it right away.

Dutch also allows Wodan, next to Odin
