Aten/Aton was the disc of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra - whom the pharaoh Akhenaten proclaimed was the only god
[in this way, all gods in the Egyptian pantheon were "aspects" of the one true god Ra].
Akhenaten, this pharaoh's adopted name, meant "living spirit of Aten".
Monotheistic "Atenism" was established by Akhenaten as the state religion until it was again replaced by traditional polytheistic Egyptian mythology after Akhenaten's death.
