Mine is derived from my northern European mongrel heritage. My paternal grandfather was a full blooded Norwegian, named Odean; obviously a reference to the Norse god Odin.

Both of my maternal grandparents were second generation German. So I combined my Norse and German heritage and Germanized Odin to Wodan or Woden. Both were somewhat overused across the internet so I chose a misspelling and came up with Wodin.

A bit of searching revealed the only uses of Wodin were a somewhat obscure artist and a nuts and bolts factory in Ohio, so Wodin it became.

edit: it has since become a little more prevalent among the gaming community.
