The Semitic custom of treating all names with 'Ja' as semitic seems like a cheap trick.
It's like saying that He=God therefore Heracles must mean 'God' + r-c-l (whatever word you find: God-recalls ...). This custom is very unsatisfying (and in most cases likely wrong). Names should not be used to identify the ethnics of Kings.

Germanic and Semitic words are surprisingly similar. Maybe a loanword?

Problem being, as you trace the origins of the words back through their known etymologies, they become more different instead of similar.

This may be true for some winded branches of the language word tree, however the general picture is (or should be) that semitic have too much vocabulary and structural overlap to be merely a contact phenomenon:
