Etymology

From *audaz + *winiz. The compound is continued directly by Old English Ēadwine and continental Germanic Audowin, Audwin, Auduin, Audoin, the latter forms being attested from the sixth century onward (Förstemann 1900: 204, s.v. Audowin). The second constituent retains the masculine i-stem *winiz, reflected independently in Old Norse vinr, Old English wine, Old Saxon wini, and Old High German wini (Fulk 2018: 159).
