About

The word 签名 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 签, which conveys the action of writing or inscribing, often quickly or as a formal mark, and 名, which means "name". Together, they create a compound that literally means "to inscribe a name", directly and pictorially representing the act of signing one's name on a document.
