Sorry, but no. They are just our old units that stuck in everyday language. They are probably not even closer to yours than yours are to antique Egypt ones, given that they were not internationally standardized and merely referenced the same body parts. And we have expressions including other old units that you don't have (lieu, arpent, toise, etc.).
