Interesting conspiracy theory right there. It's spelt "Голодомор" in Ukrainian. Etymologically it is based on two Slavic words: "голод" (hunger) and either "мор" (mass death caused by disease) or "морити" (to exhaust / to tire / to wear out).
The term itself comes far after the actual 1930s famine and the Holocaust itself. Famine is already a word in Ukrainian, and was common before collectivizing agriculture. The term itself was coined by Ukrainian nationalists that opposed the socialist system and drew on Nazi propaganda.
