humans are from dirt

I came by some interesting facts about how the word 'human' in multiple languages mean or are closely related to the word for 'ground' or 'dirt.' I find that fascinating because obviously the first thing that comes to mind is the story of Creation and Adam. Here is my stab at trying to piece together some linguistical history. Most of my information comes from dictionaries.

1) In c.1250 the French word 'humain' came into the English vocabulary and became the word 'human' that we know of today. The French word was derived from the Latin word 'humanus' meaning earthly beings. This word 'humanus' is a direct cognate of the Latin word 'humus' meaning earth or soil and both words had come from an original Indo-European root. In Danish and Swedish, it is pronounced 'human,' in Portuguese and Spanish 'humanos,' and in Persian 'humana.' I am pretty sure in other Indo-European languages, the words are very closely related.

2) The Hebrew word for man is 'adam.' This word for ground is 'adamah.'

3) On the other side of the world, I find out that the Korean word for human 사람 (saram) is very closely related to the word for dirt and soil. First, one must see that the words 사람 (saram) 'human,' 살다 (sarda) 'to live,' 삶 (sarm) 'life', 흙 (heolk) 'soil and dirt' are all cognates of the word 살 (sal) meaning flesh. The word 흙 (heolk) was pronounced 슭 (seolk) back in ancient times. The idea of flesh, life, and human is interestingly bounded to the idea of soil and dirt.

Obviously, this being only a few languages out of a menagerie of hundreds and thousands does not prove anything. But it definitely is something to look more into. And I also thought about citing but this is only a blog so I do not want to spend more time doing that. : P
