I think you'll find that they're variant spellings of the same name. Many Norse gods have various forms in the the different Germanic languages, For example we have Woden (Anglo-Saxon, I think), Wotan (German), Odin or Odinn (Scandinavian, I believe). Then you have Heimdall, which is something like Heimdalr in Icelandic and also Loga (German) and Loki (Anglo-Saxon).
