I suggest adding mention of earliest written attestation of Odin as Wōthnaz, which in the genitive form is Woðnas from Vindelev bracteate X13. Monroecodex (talk) 07:40, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adam of Bremen Wotan

Odin is referred to as "Wotan" in the Adam of Bremen section of this article. Even the latin text has been changed to reflect this, saying "Wotan id est furor" But in the original work Adam states: "Alter Wodan, id est furor". I think the use of "Wotan" is inappropriate here and should be changed to "Wodan" at least in the latin part and Wodan/Odin in the english one. Ediable (talk) 13:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
