Etymology 1

Perhaps from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-tjaŋ (“top; to rise”). Luce gives Old Chinese 置 (OC *tɯɡs, “to place”) as a cognate,[1] though this comparison seems outdated.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “STEDT doesn't seem to mention the *s-tjan derivation - is there a source? Also, which sense is the "given name" referring to?”
