Pork comes from latin (porcus) as well as French/Middle English (porc).
Same for beef-beuf is its French origin. According to Wiki, the modern word "ham" is derived from the Old English ham or hom meaning the hollow or bend of the knee, from a Germanic base where it meant "crooked".
(no clue about the others but I think they also have a similar French or middle english origin
Thanks for this!
