【Meaning】
The original meaning of An (安) is "stability," "safety," or "peace." It is an ideogrammatic character. In Oracle Bone Script, the character depicts a woman (女) inside a house (宀). The ancient philosophy behind this composition was the belief that "having a woman in the home brings stability and tranquility."
【Origins】
Descendants of the Yellow Emperor: An, the second son of Chang Yi (himself a son of the Yellow Emperor), resided in the West and founded the Kingdom of Arsacid (known in Chinese history as Anxi, located in the modern-day Iranian Plateau).
The Prince Who Became a Monk: During the Han Dynasty, after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, communication opened between China and Anxi. When the crown prince of Anxi, An Qing (also known as An Shigao), was due to inherit the throne, he chose to pursue Buddhist studies instead. He abdicated in favor of his uncle and became a monk.
Migration to the East: In 148 AD (Eastern Han Dynasty), An Qing traveled to Luoyang, Henan, to propagate Buddhism and eventually settled there. His descendants, along with the officials who accompanied him from the Western Regions, adopted the first character of their home country, An, as their surname.

【釋義】
「安」的本義為安定、安靜。這是一個會意字。在甲骨文中,「安」字的字形由「宀」(房屋)與「女」(女子)組成。古人的觀念中,認為「家中有女子,生活即能安定」,象徵著和諧與平安。
【起源】
源於黃帝後裔: 黃帝之子昌意的次子名叫「安」,居於西方,自號「安息國」(今伊朗高原一帶)。
安世高與佛教傳播: 漢武帝時期,張騫出使西域抵達安息國,兩國始有往來。安息國王傳至太子安清(字世高)時,他不願繼位,反而嚮往佛學,將王位讓給叔父,出家為僧。
定居中原: 東漢桓帝建和二年(公元148年),安清來到河南洛陽傳播佛教並定居於此。安清的後裔子孫,以及隨其進入漢地的官員與家屬,皆以原國名「安息」的首字為姓,稱為安氏。
