∙ 12y agoIn hieroglyphs the king's name is made up of three elements:
- twt, meaning a statue, an image, a likeness
- anx, meaning live, life or living
- imn, meaning Amun
The a and i in Egyptian words are not English vowels, but consonants not found in English.

∙ 11y agoKing Tutankhamun's name was originally called Tutankhaten, which is the birth name that his father King Akhenaten gave him. King Tut was given this name because his father believed in the God Aten. When Tut's dad passed away and he was Pharaoh, he changed the belief of the God Aten to the belief of the God Amun. Since he changed this belief of gods, he also changed the last part of his name to the new god that he now believed in, which was the God Amun. Therefore his name became Tutankhamun.
Tut-Ankh-Amun means IMAGE OF THE LIVING GOD: Tut (image) Ankh (Life) Amun (god)
