Odin

Odin comes down from the Norse rafters, the name of the Allfather, the one-eyed god of wisdom, poetry, war, and runes. From Old Norse Odinn, likely meaning "fury" or "inspiration," it was once so sacred that it was rarely used for mortals. Modern American parents have reclaimed it enthusiastically; Marvel films and a broader fascination with Norse myth have pushed it well into the top 500, now at 479. Two syllables arrive strong and quick, a hard O and a clipped final N. Odin reads as mythic and slightly wild, a name that hints at ravens overhead and long winter nights.
