In this video, I discuss Odin's name in PGmc *wōðanaz and its various forms throughout the Germanic languages.
0:45 - Wōðanaz (Proto-Germanic)
2:58 - Wōdans (Gothic)
3:50 - Uuôden (Old Saxon)
5:08 - Woden/Wœden (Old English)
5:51 - Óðinn/Óðann (Old Norse)
7:54 - Wuotan (Old High German)
The argument for Óðinn/*Óðann is from Liberman's In Prayer and Laughter. Essays on Medieval Scandinavian and Germanic Mythology, Literature, and Culture (2016).
