Origin note

She/厍 is a simplified surname form of traditional 厹. The main Han-layer explanation treats She as an office-title surname from officials in charge of village or state storehouses. A second layer is changed surname, from Northern Zhou or northern clan name Sheruguan. Classical dictionaries also preserve Han-era Qiang-context She surname attestation through She Jun. These layers are recorded separately.
