"Tut" is an abbreviated form of Tutankhamun (pronounced 'toot-un-common'). However Tut had several names. His original name, before he took the throne was Tutankhaten which meant "Living image of the Aten". when he became Pharaoh he was given the name Tutankhamun which means "Living image of Amun." The pharaoh before "Tut" was named Akhenaten and changed some things in the Egyptian religon. He thought that Aten was the main god and wanted eveyone to worship Aten. For this change that challenged many Egyptains' beliefs and costums, Akhenaten was hated and shunned by the people. When Tut took the throne the change of his name meant that the old ways (and ways that were believed to be right) of having Amun as a god came back into view.
