What is the meaning of the name Amunhotep ?

The baby name Amunhotep is a Male name and is pronounced ah-MOON-hoh-tep (approx. /əˌmʌnˈhoʊtɛp/).

Amunhotep is Egyptian in Origin.

Amunhotep is an Ancient Egyptian theophoric name meaning “Amun is satisfied” or “Amun is at peace.” It derives from the components Amun (the major state god of Thebes) + ḥtp, a noun-verb meaning “peace, contentment, offering.” In scholarly transliteration the form is ı͗mn-ḥtp, often rendered with a t-phonetic value approximated as “ho-tep.” The name conveys reverence and a wish for divine favor and harmony.

Royal and priestly circles used it widely in the New Kingdom: four 18th-Dynasty pharaohs bore it - Amunhotep I, II, III, and IV, the last later renaming himself Akhenaten. Variants include Amenhotep (dominant Egyptological spelling) and Amenophis, the Hellenized form found in Greek and Latin sources; Amunhetep appears less commonly. Today the name is rare but occasionally revived by Egyptophiles and in Afrocentric naming, with short forms Amun or Amen.
