The phonetic component is 罙 (shēn), an archaic character meaning "deep", which provides the pronunciation. 琛 has historically meant treasure or rare gems, often appearing in classical texts to denote objects of great value. Its positive connotations of preciousness and rarity also make it a common choice for personal names.
