Adonai the name used to refer to God, became Adonis who was formerly know as the god Tammuz in Babylon.
Sorry, the point was how very different in both detail and world view the Norse are from the Greeks. Just who in Norse mythology would you trace back to Adonis? If you can't link the Norse to Adonis, tracing Adonis to Babylonian is irrelevant.
Easy enough.

Quote:Here we report that there is no need to invent *Wodinaz and similar words to “explain” the origin and meaning of the theonym Odin. Odin’s representations with one eye provide the key to his name: Odin’s one eye is the code for his name, “One I.” “One” in Hebrew is echad, and “I” in ani. Echad ani — i.e., Odin or Adonai — in the Magyar language is egy én, meaning “one I” or “one self.”
The Old Church Slavonic ѥдинъ (jedin), “one”, and Russian один (odin), "one", are related to the Magyar egy én, "one I".
The significance of echad, egy, jedin, odin – i.e., “one” – in Odin’s name is indicated in Deuteronomy 6:4:
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”
The finding that Odin means “one I” or “one self” is significant because it indicates that Odin was by no means a pagan god, but the God of Israel, who is “one.”
