According to Wikipedia, the source of the name is quite a bit disputed. But what I most commonly inferred was:

The etymology of the Old Norse root vin- is disputed; while it has usually been assumed to be "wine", some scholars give credence to the homophone vin, meaning "pasture" or "meadow".

If you want to further read about it, you can find the Wikipedia article on it and read the 'Name' category.
