Amenhotep IV was the pharoah or king of Egypt who enforced worship of just one god, Aton Ra, previously a minor god - the god of the sun disc. Amenhotep then changed his own name to Akhenaton (servant of Aton").

no. Akhenaton believed in the one true God. He believed all the Egyptian gods were merely different facets or aspects of this one God, whom he called Aton. his name was originally Amenhotep IV, named after his ancestors. because his name included the name of the god Amen, he changed it to Akhenaton, literally, "beloved of Aton."
