Requalivahanus

An entry from Rudolf Simeck's Dictionary
of Northern Mythology:

Requalivahanus. Name of a god on a votive
inscription from Blatzheim a.d. Neffel, Germany
from the time between the 2nd/4th centuries [...]
area of the Germanic tribe of the Ubii [...]
can best be related to a Germanic word
*rehwaz "darkness." This could indicate a god
of the underworld although from the inscription
we know that fruit was dedicated to him.

****
My own unprofessional thoughts:

Requalivahanus...
Requal - Ivan
qualis - Ivan

Ivan is a Hebrew word for "god is gracious."
qualis is a Latin word for "kind of, type."

Requalivahanus may mean:
"the kind of god who is gracious."

Hence, the fruit offerings.

Are there any professional opinions about the
name of this god?

Thanks,
Heidi
