Seems to be a coincidence - the Hebrew word comes from the Bible (old testament), and means "the feeding, and generally providing of needs".

The English word comes from "calculus", meaning, apparently, pebble, because original counting was done with pebbles.

(I had to look both up. Thanks for asking)
