Etymology

Dative of a name *ᚹᛟᛞᚢᚱᛁᛞᚨᛉ (Wōdurīdaz). The a-stem dative singular -ᛖ comes from Proto-Germanic *-ai, with a regular sound shift of *-ai > -ē (Old Norse -i). The name itself is a compound of *ᚹᛟᛞᚢᛉ (wōduz, “fury”) (from Proto-Germanic *wōduz) and *ᚱᛁᛞᚨᛉ (rīdaz, “rider”), agent noun from Proto-Germanic *rīdaną (“to ride”).
