Etymology
About
The character "亓" originated as a variant form of "其", with its structure comprising a horizontal stroke above the component "丌", which signifies a base or stand. Etymologically, it derives from "其", a character that initially denoted a winnowing basket. Over time, "亓" underwent a semantic shift, relinquishing its concrete meaning to be employed almost exclusively as a Chinese surname.
