Etymology

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): semantic 日 (“sun”) + semantic 口 (“mouth”). The mouth is a reference to being awakened at dawn through shouts or songs. During the Warring States Period, 口 developed into 曰. 昌 (OC khlaŋ ~ thaŋ) is possibly related to 陽 (OC *laŋ), in which case it would go back to *khlaŋ, supported by Proto-Vietic *hlaŋᴮ; note the phonetic parallelism with 唱 (OC k-hlaŋh) (Schuessler, 2007). See 陽／阳 (yáng) for further etymology.
