Radicals

氏	clan	Variant of hill 丘. Clan families often had their estates on the top of hills. This developed into the family name. It can be seen as one person 人, which is modified as: 厂 and a “plus +” as a multiplier, so that many persons form a family.
日	sun, day	This radical was developed from a circle with a central dot as the image of the sun. As you can hardly draw circles or dots with a brush, it became the current rectangular shape.
