It's believed to have been developed from the cursive script of Man'yōgana, a system of using Chinese characters to represent the sounds of Japanese. It was simplified from the more complex Chinese characters, making it easier to write and more fluid. The kanji 平 means "plain" or "simple", and 仮名 means "syllabic script" or "borrowed name."
