Is the mandrake plant related to ginseng?

I am not any expert in Biological or Botanical discipline. Base on my understanding on the words, mandrake can be broken down to "man" and "drake". When i google for the word "drake", it is explained as "dragon", "demon", "serpent", or kind of "jinnie". Ginseng is an English word originate from on Minan or Hokkien Chinese. The character of Chinese writing for ginseng consists of two words. 人參. The first character means Human being or man. The second character, was translated as "root" in wikipedia. But i think that is wrong. It should be understood as "spiritual beings". Those who understand Chinese culture well enough will know that good ginseng are those been kept for thousands of years. One who find good ginseng in the wild should tie it with a rope to prevent it from running away. Good ginseng can only be found in the wilderness. Cultivated ginseng are not as good as wild ginseng.
