Gaia is the term for one Earth. Everything is connected, from rocks to rock stars. The molecules and atoms of everything are intertwined and we are a part of it all, whether it is considered organic or inorganic according to current science. In other words everything is living accordingly in Gaia. As far as I know, it's English, and I'm not sure how far it goes back, but the basic concept has probably always been around.

Model of the Earth in which its living and nonliving parts are viewed as a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism.
Developed c. 1972 largely by British chemist James E. Lovelock and U.S. biologist Lynn Margulis, the Gaia hypothesis is named for the Greek Earth goddess. It postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall; the Earth is homeostatic in support of life-sustaining conditions. The theory is highly controversial.

The source of Gaia is varied http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia here for more info
but basically it all boils down to the goddess of earth ... bigger than god ... not about religion but more about how everything in nature is related to each other
