“The hidden one”

Amon from Αμμων (Ammon), the Greek form of Egyptian Ymn (reconstructed as Yamanu) which meant "the hidden one". In early Egyptian mythology he was a god of the air, creativity and fertility, who was particularly revered in Thebes. Later, during the Middle Kingdom, his attributes were combined with those of the god Ra and he was worshipped as the supreme solar deity Amon-Ra.

Biblical namesake: Amon was a king of Judah known for his brief reign and for continuing the idolatrous practices of his father, Manasseh. (2 Kings · 2 Kings 21:18-26, 2 Chronicles 33:20-25)
