🐎⭐ 驰 gallop + 名 name — a name that races everywhere
驰 carries the horse radical 马, linking it to galloping speed. A name (名) that charges ahead at full gallop becomes renowned.
名 — evening 夕 + mouth 口
A compound ideograph: in the dark of evening (夕), one cannot recognize others by sight, so the mouth (口) calls out a name to identify oneself. The original sense of 'name' broadened to include reputation, fame, and a measure word for people.
