The term human comes from the old French humain, derived from the Latin hūmānus, which is the adjective of homō meaning "man" or "being from earth". It's possible that this latter comes from the creation story of Adam in Christianity who was made form the dust of the earth (Adam in Hebrew means 'dust' and 'man'). The 'being' part essentially comes from the fact of our existence, in the sense that we 'be' and are the only creature who can reflect on our 'being'. 'Being' also has connotations of having a soul and some believe we are also the only animal to have souls.
