Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɦlaːw, *ɦlaːws) : phonetic 号 (OC *ɦlaːws) + 虎 (“tiger”).

Originally an ideogram (指事) of a tiger and a line representing its roar. Later forms added 口 (“mouth”) or 言 (“speech”) to emphasize the act of crying or calling. 号 derives from 口 and the line 丂.

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)aw (“to call”) (Schuessler, 2007, STEDT). Compare Kinnauri ku, Anong go, and Burmese ခေါ် (hkau). The extension of the meaning ‘shout, call’ to ‘ask, request’ is parallel to 呼 (hū).

Pronunciation 1 is the exopassive derivation of pronunciation 2, literally "what is called".
