Etymology: Corn and גורן

Was reading a book ("This is not a Weasel") about differences between the word "corn" and (what we americans call corn) which is really "maize". Google the word "corn" further and you'll see it is used really more so in reference to grains.
Which then just got me wondering... corn... grain... goren... גרן.... coincidence?, I think not
