According to DNA research of David Reich et al. the Germanic people came from Central Asia from the Yamnaya culture.
In the 1970's I was told, that there was a war in Central Asia around 6000 BC. The losing tribe fell apart and fled west and south. The people that went west became the Germanic people and perhaps also the Celtic people. The people that went south became the Zoroastrians in Persia. Later some of these Zoroastrians crossed the Himalaya's and became the Brahmans. The Zoroastrians wrote the A-Vesta, the Brahmans wrote the Rig Veda and the Germanic people produced the Edda's. The Scandinavian languages lost the 'V' or 'W' in front of many words. So Edda could come from Vedda. There are significant similarities in the mythology behind these writings. Edda means wit
There is no physical evidence for the theory above. It is just an interpretation of similarities in old languages and mythology.
David Reich et al. developed a method to obtain useful DNA from bones of 5000 years old. And with computers he compared the many DNA samples to create a map of the migrations of the ancestors of Germanic peoples and other peoples. According to the results at this moment (2022), the Germanic peoples come from a culture known as the Yamnaya. And this is dated around 3300 BC.

When you put a 'V' before the word Edda, you get Vedda or Veda.
Vedda or Wedda is related to the Dutch word 'weten' and the Germand word 'wissen' (to know) and the English word 'Wit'
The Edda, the Rig Veda en the Zend Avesta have the same origin.
