Uhm... no.
Odin is in no way related to Yahweh. The Bhudda is in no way related to or connected with Yahweh. The Rainbow Serpent is in no way connected to Yahweh. The dieties of the Aztec, Incas and other native societies etc, etc. The list goes on and preceeds backwards through time.
Then, as has been pointed out previously, there are the societies which have no dieties.
Pretty sure there've been oodles of dieties talked about over the ages. Yours is just one of the relative 'New kids on the block'.
Cheers.
Not at work.
Aztecs and Incas had the same trouble with their gods that the Maori had with theirs: most of the names are so bloody long that it takes forever to get through a decent prayer, and people got tired of the whole religion thing. I think this may be one reason why monotheism caught on. Yahweh. Allah. Jesus. Nice, short names, easy to pronounce (and fewer to keep track of).
Some Maori gods:
-Urutengangana
-Tama-nui-te-ra
-Auahituroa
-Makeatutara
-Hine-nui-tai-po
-Io Matua Kore
Who's got time for THAT kind of nonsense?
