What's next, redesigning half of the English language because it contains so many words derived from Latin?

It doesn't matter where icons, words, or any identifier comes from so long as everyone understands it. If you're creating a new icon then it's a good idea to make the design intuitive as this improves its chance for adaption, but doing so to an ubiquitous icon such as "save" is just counter-productive.
