福
fú
abbr. for Fujian province 福建省[Fu2 jian4 Sheng3]
surname Fu; good fortune; happiness; luck
Spirit (礻) + abundance sound (畐) = good fortune and blessings
The spirit/altar radical 礻 carries the meaning, linking blessings to divine favor. 畐 mainly contributes the sound fú; its shape of a full vessel may have reinforced the sense of abundance, but its primary role here is phonetic.
