For the answer to the question above, Most come from Anglo-Saxon, but there are a few from other sources:

The group they/them/their comes from Norse, resulting from the Danish occupation of the northern part of England (Danelaw).

We don't know what is the origin of "she" The word appeared in Middle English, but no generally accepted source has been established.
