Meaning and history
From Ἄμμων (Ammon), the Greek form of Egyptian jmn, reconstructed as Yamanu, meaning “the hidden one,” this name refers to an early Egyptian god of air, creativity, and fertility who was especially revered in Thebes. During the Middle Kingdom, his attributes were merged with those of Ra, and he was worshipped as the supreme solar deity Amon-Ra.
