Oden Origin and Meaning

The name Oden is a boy's name meaning "god of frenzy; poetic fury".

Oden is the Swedish form of Óðinn — or Odin, if you anglicize it — the highest of the gods in Norse mythology. Ruling over war, wisdom, art, death, law and culture, his name means "inspiration, frenzy, and fury" and ultimately stems from the Proto-Germanic Wōðanaz.

Slightly softer in look and sound to the strong, rugged Odin, Oden has been climbing up the US stats since the late 2000s. While Odin has risen to the Top 400 however, Oden lags behind, given to around 90 boys each year.

In Japan, oden is the name of a one-pot dish, made up of of fish cakes, radish, eggs, potatoes, and tofu in various forms, all cooked gently in a soy sauce broth.
