| Thisetymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at theEtymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Is殷 (OC*qɯn) related to鳦 (OC*qriːd, *qrid) &燕 (OC*qeːns), both meaning "swallow"? Xie / Qi (契), the mythical ancestor of the Shang kings, was conceived after lady Jiandi (簡狄) swallowed the egg of the black bird (玄鳥) (e.g. in Shijing (詩經) - Shang Song (商頌) - Xuan Niao 玄鳥, Shiji (史書) Yin benji (殷本紀), etc. ), identified explicitly as 燕 (Lunheng 論衡, chapters 案書 Anshu & Qiguai 奇怪).” |

The senses “Shang dynasty” and “prosperous” are fromMiddle Chinese殷 (MC 'j+n), corresponding to modern Mandarinyīn and Cantonesejan1. The sense “rumbling” corresponds to modern Mandarinyǐn and Cantonesejan2.
Thekan'on pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.
