Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ödön je maďarské mužské meno. Z historicko-etymologického hľadiska sa vykladá ako výsledok maďarského hláskového vývoja mena Eugen, ktoré pochádza z gréckeho Eugenios, utvoreného zo slov eu („dobrý“) a genos („rod, pôvod“), teda „urodzený, blahorodený“. Jeho staršou maďarskou podobou bolo Ögyén. V 19. storočí sa však Ödön začalo umelo stotožňovať aj s germánskym menom Edmund, zloženým z prvkov ead („majetok, blahobyt“) a mund („ochrana“).
