In Jewish folklore, a golem (גולם, sometimes [as in Yiddish] pronounced goilem) is an animated being which is crafted from inanimate material. In modern Hebrew the word golem denotes "fool", "silly", or even "stupid", "clue-less", and "dumb", and literally means "cocoon". The name appears to derive from the word gelem (גלם), which means "raw material".

I think that it is from Jewish mythology
As far a I remember the Golem was built from clay, resembling a large man. At times of need or protection the Golem came to life to provide these services. Forgive me if I am incorrect but this is only from memory.
