Etymology

From Proto-Italic *homos, from earlier *xomos, ultimately from *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”). De Vaan suggests that the o-stem emerged in Latin on the basis of the ambiguous locative form humī, itself from earlier *homei, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰémi. Alternatively, Sihler reconstructs a seperate Proto-Indo-European adjective of the shape *dʰǵʰomós. Cognates include Sanskrit क्ष (kṣa), Ancient Greek χθών (khthṓn), and Old Church Slavonic землꙗ (zemlja). Related to homō (“human being, man”). See: Ancient Greek Nouns 'χθών'.
