twt-ꜥnḫ-jmn-ḥqꜣ-jwnw-šmꜥw

Egyptian

Etymology

twt (“image”) +‎ ꜥnḫ (“living”) +‎ jmn (“Amun”) +‎ ḥqꜣ (“ruler”) +‎ jwnw (“Heliopolis”) +‎ šmꜥw (“Upper Egypt”), thus literally meaning ‘The Living Image of Amun, Ruler of the Heliopolis of Upper Egypt [i.e. Thebes]’. The compound is based on the pharaoh’s earlier name, twt-ꜥnḫ-jtn (literally “living image of the Aten”). A shorter form of twt-ꜥnḫ-jmn-ḥqꜣ-jwnw-šmꜥw is found as twt-ꜥnḫ-jmn (“Tutankhamon”).
