No form of「灵」has been found in oracle bone script.
In bronze script,「灵」combines「雨」(rain),「口」(mouth), and「巫」(shaman), meaning a shaman praying for rain — those who commune with heaven and earth are called 'ling' (spiritual).
In seal script,「灵」has「巫」(shaman) below and「雨」(rain) above. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Ling is a spiritual shaman — one who serves the gods with jade.'
From the shamanic rain-making ritual of communing with the divine,「灵」extended to all things efficacious, ethereally beautiful, and spiritually gifted. Using「灵」in a name signifies extraordinary intelligence and a captivating, spirited nature.
