So we could state that health which literally means "to make whole" comes from the greek word "holon", bearing all variations of years that followed its first conception. ... He is the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek religion. He was one of Apollo's sons, and they both shared the nickname Paean ("the Healer").

Answer:

The English 'health' derives from Old English 'hælth', which is related to 'whole' 'a thing that is complete in itself' (Oxford Dictionary) derived from Old English 'hal' of Germanic origin (the addition of the w in whole/hal reflects a dialect pronunciation of the 15th century).
