There is a Greek deity whose name is Aidos, meaning shame, respect, modesty.
It has the same root with the Greek word αἰδώς (aidos) meaning shame.
A word/a name with an uncertain etymology. Beekes himself has no real proposal. See above the wiktionary etymology.

We have here a Proto-Altaic/Proto-Turkic words that can be the root:
uju sad, ashamed: Tung. *oji-; Mong. *uj; Turk. *uja-; Jpn. *u-.
According to Starostin/Dybo we can reconstruct the root like above.
Old Turkic. ujad- (Old Uyghur .); Karakh. ujaδ- mean shame, to be ashamed.
These could be the root of this "Greek" word / deity.
Possible?
