人 is a pictograph of a person standing sideways, with the two strokes representing the legs and body. This is one of the oldest and most stable character forms.
The two strokes look like a person's legs as they stand. Picture a simple stick figure: 人 is a person.
For ジン, imagine a person drinking a refreshing gin and tonic: gin -> ジン, and the person enjoys it.
