I would not be surprised if it was a "mushing" of the two. A lot of the christian mythology was "borrowed" from other pegan religions, particularly, Greek, Egyptian and Bablyonian. At the same time, much of the germanic pegan symbology was co-opted by Christianity...e.g., easter bunnies, wreaths, christmas trees, etc., as it was being spread. A lot easier to convince people to "convert" when they can keep their current customs or just rename them.
There are some who call me ......... Tim?
