Imenhotep is Egyptian in Origin.

Imenhotep is an alternative Egyptological transliteration of the royal name Amenhotep, from ancient Egyptian jmn-ḥtp. The first element, jmn, names the Theban god Amun (often rendered Amon/Amun/Imen in different languages), while ḥtp means “peace, satisfaction, offering.” Together the name signifies “Amun is satisfied/at peace” or “Amun is pleased,” invoking divine favor and tranquility.

The name was borne by several prominent 18th‑Dynasty pharaohs - Amenhotep I, II, III, and IV (who later became Akhenaten) - and numerous officials, appearing in Greek as Amenophis. Variants include Amenhotep, Amunhotep, Amonhotep, Amenophis, and the scholarly form Imn‑ḥtp; Imenhotep reflects francophone and academic renderings of jmn as “Imen.” It should not be confused with Imhotep (“He who comes in peace”), a different Old Kingdom name. In modern usage Imenhotep/Amenhotep is rare and ceremonial, occasionally adopted in Afrocentric or Egyptological contexts.
