Dionysus and the Month of Nisan

Dionysus is associated with other Mystery gods such as Tammuz, Adonis, and Osiris etc, and he is associated with the rebirth of nature. Is it possible that his name is simply Dio/Di-wo/Deu + Nisan? The Great Dionysia were held in the month of Nisan. In that case it is literally the God of Spring

It is known that this god is a foreigner from another region
