Both Greek and Latin had words in gen- derived from an original Proto-Indo-European root gen-, meaning "produce, beget," and there are words in English from both sources. For example, "generate" is from Latin generare, while the "gen" in "hydrogen" is from Greek genos.
The same Proto-Indo-European root survives, with a sound modification typical of the Germanic language family, in native English words such as "kind" and "kin."
