Pictogram (象形 (xiàngxíng)) – a figure with two lines 二 for a head (one connected to body, one above it), emphasizing the head.

Etymology 1

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m/s-gaw (“head”), with a noun-forming suffix *-n (Schuessler, 2003; STEDT). If so, cognate with 后 (“ruler; lord; queen”), Tibetan མགོ (mgo, “head; summit; beginning”), མགོན (mgon, “protector; master; lord”), Garo sko (“skull”), Northern Tujia kho⁵⁵ pa⁵⁵ (“head”) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). 原 (“source; origin; basic; primary”) and 黿 (“large turtle”) may be the same word (Schuessler, 2007). It may also be related to 君 (“lord; prince; ruler”), 尹 (“magistrate; governor”), 侯 (“marquis”) (Mei, 1985).

The name of the dynasty comes from the I Ching:

大哉乾元，萬物資始，乃統天。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, trad.]

---

大哉干元，万物资始，乃统天。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, simp.]

From: I Ching, 11^th – 8^th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Dà zāi qián yuán, wànwù zī shǐ, nǎi tǒng tiān. [Pinyin]

Vast is the ‘great and originating (power)’ indicated by Qian! All things owe to it their beginning: - it contains all the meaning belonging to (the name) heaven.
