About
The character "翟" is composed of the elements for feathers and bird, which together point to its initial meaning as a pheasant distinguished by its long tail feathers. This primary zoological reference extended to encompass the feathers themselves, which found use in ritual attire and ornamental contexts over historical periods. While its graphical form has seen little alteration, the character's semantic range widened to include function as a surname, probable deriving from associations with locations or roles connected to such birds or their plumes, reflecting a shift from a concrete natural term to wider cultural and hereditary applications.
