Origin note

Qu/璩 is treated as a surname form related to Qu Boyu of Wey/Wei, not as a generic jade-object word. Sources say Qu, Ju, and Qu-related forms belong to a connected surname tradition and that later written forms caused confusion. The page records the Qu Boyu ancestor-name layer and graph-change layer, while keeping modern ID-card spelling issues out of the origin claim.
