ব্যুৎপত্তি

Ultimately from প্রত্ন-Germanic *Wōdanaz, cognate with ইংরেজি Woden, আইসল্যান্ডীয় Óðinn. Attested since the 12th century in the লাতিন Chronicon of Godfrey of Viterbo, where it is spelled Wotan. In Old High জার্মান, the name is attested as Wodan.

After Christianization, the name appears to have persisted in folklore and formed various derivations, such as Old High German Wuotunc, Wodunc; Middle High German Wüetung.

In literary modern জার্মান, the spellings Wodan and Wotan competed during the early 19th century, but Wotan became prevalent in the wake of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, published in 1853.

A পুরুষবাচক মূল নাম Wotan (also Wuotan, Woatan) is attested in লাতিন beginning in the 9th century. It became obsolete during the high medieval period, but was revived as a rare given name in the 20th century.
