To be clear, you presented us with your interpretations of what you read on Wikipedia. And my argument is that your interpretations are way off.
And my answer to that was for you to provide sources to back up you argument, not provide your own interpretation.
Also, I interpreted nothing, I showed how the German language evolved from Akkadian, that is not interpretation, that is fact. As the language evolved so would the names of the gods, that is not interpretation that is fact.
Even if I were to concede (for the sake of argument) that the German language evolved from Akkadian, the logic doesn't mandate that the Germanic people continue to adhere to more primitive gods from Mesopotamian mythologies/religions after a long period of time. For that, we really do need evidence. And what you're presenting isn't facts, but interpretations/opinions catering to your theological needs.
And you know what else evolves? Conceptions of deities. And as a result, newer deities that are overall dissimilar to prior deities crop up, but that serve newer purposes and desires. So your argument as it is isn't sufficient enough to demonstrate effectively the flow from your premises to the conclusion.

Odin was known in Old English as Wōden, in Old Saxon as Wōdan, and in Old High German as Wuotan or Wōtan, all stemming from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic theonym *wōđanaz.
Do you think the name Jesus is the same in Aramaic?
What are you trying to argue now here, dude? That Odin is Jesus?
