Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character 金
Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (金) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
淦 *kɯːm, *kɯːms
顉 *ŋɯːmʔ, *ŋ̊ʰrɯm, *ŋ̊ʰɯmʔ

鵭 *ɡrɯm
唫 *ɡrɯmʔ, *ŋɡrɯm
鈙 *ɡrɯms
崟 *ŋɡrɯm
趛 *ŋɡrɯmʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *krɯm) : semantic 王 (“upside-down axe”) + semantic 呂 (“two blocks of metal”) + phonetic 亼. 亼 is the ancient form for 今 (OC *krɯm). Shuowen interprets it as an image of metal in the earth ('象金在土中形') with 亼 as phonetic.

Originally referred to copper; later the meaning was extended to metal as a whole, and then to gold.

Etymology

[edit]

Starostin reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gǝ̆m (“metal”); compare Tedim Chin xam (“gold”) and Lepcha ᰀᰩᰮ (kóm, “silver, coin, money”).

“Copper” [prior to 5th BCE] → “metals in general” → “gold”.

The main senses now are “gold” and “metal”.

Some of the Manchu people with this surname are descendants of the Qing imperial family and is a calque of Manchu ᠠᡳᠰᡳᠨ (aisin, “gold”) in their original surname ᠠᡳᠰᡳᠨ
ᡤᡳᠣᡵᠣ (aisin gioro).
