My understanding is that both would have been derived from Phoenician which was itself from a Proto-Indo-European origin.

No... first hebrew is basically just a dialect of Phoenician, and phoenecian isn't an indo european language! It's semitic, like arabic and Akkadian. Also the name Casesarea is of course from Caesar (the city was founded in honor of Augustus by Herod)
