From Old Japanese, first attested in the Nihon Shoki (720 CE).

Originally a compound of 人 (hito, “man, person”) +‎ と (to, combining particle) +‎ 形 (nari, “shape; disposition; character”, in turn from the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 為(な)る (naru, “to become”).).[1][2][3][4]

The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), borrowed from Chinese 為人／为人.
