Amenophis is Egyptian in Origin.

Amenophis is the Hellenized Greek form of the ancient Egyptian royal name Amenhotep, from jmn (Amun), the chief Theban god, plus htp “is satisfied/at peace.” The full sense is “Amun is satisfied” or “Amun is content,” a theophoric statement expressing divine favor. The Greek rendering entered historiography through writers like Manetho and persisted in European scholarship for centuries.

Four pharaohs of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty bore the name - Amenophis I, II, and III, and Amenophis IV, who later adopted the name Akhenaten - making it a dynastically significant royal name. Today, Egyptologists usually prefer Amenhotep; Amenophis survives in older texts and some modern European languages: Aménophis (French), Amenofis (Spanish/Portuguese), and Amenofi (Italian). Related forms include Amunhotep (reflecting the god’s name Amun) and older spellings such as Amenhetep; do not confuse the name with Imhotep, which is unrelated. As a modern given name, Amenophis is rare and typically chosen for its historical resonance.
