'Hu' is an important root within the language of Sanskrit as its meaning of that which is a 'sacrifice' that which is 'offered' and that which is 'worshipped' forms words such as 'Hotr' the priest of the fire sacrifice as in one who performs ( tr ) the offering ( hu ).

"While nobody knows for sure where God came from, it is believed that the word originated from Sanskrit, of all places, with the word 'huta' meaning 'to invoke' this was passed to Proto-Indo-European with 'ghut'  to 'call' or 'invoke' then, as PIE faded, a bunch of languages all over Europe picked up the word, with variations such as got, gott, gup, and more."
