About
樊 (fán) combines 棥 (fán), a fence of interwoven branches, with 𠬜, an old form of two hands, to depict climbing over a barrier. Within 棥, two 木 (wood) components frame 爻 (intertwining), suggesting crossed branches that form a hedge. 棥 also provides the character's sound. The original image of hands scaling a wooden fence extended to mean any enclosure or cage, and the character later became a common surname.
