It means "origin, creation, generation" or "beginning", as many here have listed.
It comes from Latin, which borrowed it from a Greek word whose root means "to come into being, be born".

It means the beginning. It means the same thing outside of the biblical context, too.

Actually, it means "origin", but "beginning" is close enough.
