The story behind the name

Oddi Helgason, nicknamed Star-Oddi, or Stjörnu-Oddi in Icelandic, was an Icelandic viking who lived in the north of Iceland. Star-Oddi was known for his skills in astronomy and spent much of his time analysing the movement of the sun, moon and stars. Star-Oddi‘s observations made it possible for the vikings to extend their sailing period from the short summer months.
