Etymology

First created in the Han era , the name was probably coined. According to a commentary to the Book of Han by Zhang Yan (張晏, c. 3rd century?) as collected by Yan Shigu (581–645) much later, both 馮 (OC *brɯŋ) and 翊 (OC *lɯɡ) might be glossed as "to assist" (i.e., to assist the imperial capital).

In addition, the phrase "馮馮翊翊" appeared in the Han Shi Wai Zhuan (《韓詩外傳》) as hapax legomenon and was interpreted by James Robert Hightower as "vast and soaring",[1] likely as ideophone. Together with the 右扶風 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ ba plum, “strong gale on the right”), they would form the left and right wings of the imperial district.

The 左 component refers to the geographical position relative to the imperial city of Chang'an: As the Son of Heaven faces the south, the Pingyi lies on the left-hand side.
