Maybe it is simpley something he has taken from Nordic Mythology.
where there is Asgård (The home of the gods) Midgård (Middle Earth, The home of men) and Jotunheim (Home of the giants)
So maybe he just transfered a name for the world in witch men lived.
Besides i do think that this name for world of men, is the same in ancient english so it
makes perfect sense.
(It would not be the first time Tolkien took a name from Nordic Mythology. eks. Gandalf was the name of a dwarf in a tale)
