This is not uncommon, and relatively tame compared to the level of weirdness that can manifest. Like what Ron Whitaker said in his answer, you stay with the practice -- don't attach to the sensations, stay present, etc. Sure, you might look like someone being exorcized -- but consider that as a jumping point for mindfulness or investigation of dukkha.
If you absolutely insist on feeding the chatty part of your mind with a name and an "explanation": it's a natural phenomenon present in every person with a human body and as such, appears in a multitude of names in different cultures and traditions. The best-known, and perhaps best map to navigate this phenomena and force is the Kundalini, with the specific motions a kind of Kundalini kriya. The motive force is called Shakti, and the reason the head is shaking like that comes from physical, emotional, and mental tensions held at the head; without those tensions, Shakti will flower into the presence of the wisdom mind. The presence of kriyas indicate there is work still to do.
If you stay with the practice in calm abiding, those tensions will naturally and gradually over time dissolve. There are other ways in which this can manifest, some of which are profoundly weird. It is also important that you don't force the phenomena either.
Other traditions, such as Taoist neigong or hatha yoga might specifically emphasize body work to relax and release tensions in the body, as a preliminary before practices of calm abiding. So different traditions have different methods and names for working with the same phenomena, some of them deliberately releasing tensions which often trigger physical phenomena like this. For example, you could isolate the sub-occipital muscles and learn to consciously relax that, which will likely reduce some of the shaking. Same with relaxing the temporal and occiptal muscles. Finally, if you are capable of tuning into the third granthi (or the "Jade Pillow" in the Taoist tradition) and deliberately open that up, it will allow Shakti to move past the head shaking to ... well, the next bit of tensions in your head that you might be holding.
