威 carries the sense of authority or might; 信 means trust or credibility. Combined, they mean prestige or reputation. It is also the name of Weixin county in Zhaotong, Yunnan.
信 — person 亻 + speech 言
信 combines 亻(person) with 言(speech), depicting a person standing by their words. The original sense is 'truthfulness' or 'sincerity'—what a person says can be trusted. From this it extended to 'believe,' 'trust,' and later 'message' or 'letter,' since a letter carries one's word.
