Do the German 'von' and English 'from' share the same root?

I was wondering whether von and from shared the same common root.

They do have a quite close meaning, and the pronunciation sounds similiar too.

EDIT I had already looked at the relative Wiktionary entries (1,2), and they didn't seem to be that connected after all; that's why I was curious.

No, they have separate roots. See von and from.

The German von is more related to the English of.

Wiktionary to the rescue!
