There are two beings with the name of Alduin, one is Akatosh, whose Nordic name is Alduin; The other is the Dragon Alduin.

Akatosh is known as Alduin in the ancient nordic religioun because the ancient nords believed the gods to have Animal Avatars; The Animal Avatar of Akatosh was a dragon, so as the dragons where his avatar, the strongest of the dragons[Alduin] became known as Alduin, and he forced himself unto the Ancient Nords to be recognized as the God known as Alduin, who was actually Akatosh with a nordic name.

Akatosh(god) = Alduin(god)

Alduin(dragon) =\= Akatosh(god)

They share the name because the dragon forced the ancient nords to believe he was a god, when infact he was just a creation of the god who he claimed to be.
