Origin of Tutankhamun
Borrowed from Egyptian i-mn:n-t-w&t-anx (twt-ꜥnḫ-jmn, literally “Living Image of Amun”). The variant spellings of the final vowel are taken from variant forms of the name of the god Amun as found in various different sources: u from Coptic ⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ (amoun), o from Ancient Greek Ἄμμων (Ámmōn), and e from the purely conventional system of Egyptological pronunciation.
