A cognate is a word in Spanish that is similar enough to an English word that its meaning is obvious. A few examples: General; estación; especial; escuela; liquido; revolución; tradición. There are hundreds of cognates, perhaps thousands.
First, there are the problems of what is a word and what is a cognate (i.e., how close do the forms and the meanings have to be to be considered cognates).
If we take a middle approach to the former question (e.g., 'house' and 'houses' count as one word, but 'happy' and 'unhappy' and maybe 'to house' and ' the house' count as separate words) and as cognates words that, apply one of (I believe it is 40 ) simple rules (e.g., cion=tion) and exclude false friends (e.g., embarrassed) but accept ones that are close and usually understandable from context (e.g., 'grande'?) and ignore the issue of multiple meanings in both languages (e.g., 'amorous' or 'line' - though many of the numerous meanings of the altter in both languages are not the same), then we at least have an idea of what we are talking about.
I would also like to know the answer, but I don't. But I do know that the number would be over 1,700, since one company (SynergySpanish) that teaches Spanish online lists that many. In fact, I would say many more than that: 20,000 or so, since at Amazon.com there is a book of Spanish-English cognates by a PhD described as "NTC's Dictionary of Spanish Cognates Thematically Organized is a handy reference for both Spanish and English speakers. The book includes approximately 20,000 English and Spanish cognates--grouped into 100 topics under 20 themes."

No, not all Spanish and English cognates originate from Latin. While many do come from Latin due to the historical roots of both languages, some cognates may have originated from other languages that influenced Spanish and English throughout history, such as Arabic or Germanic languages.

Those are called cognates. Cognates are words in two languages that have a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation due to shared linguistic roots.
It doesn't matter what languages, and there can be slight differences in pronunciation and spelling, but they are cognates.
