King Tutankhamun?

Question

does anyone know a website where you could figure out what the last name Tutankhamun is today?

thanks

Answer 1

His full name is “Tutankhamen.” It means “living image of Amen.”

Answer 2

Yes there is Thermcoat.com for one.

But then when someone becomes a king or pharoh,

they take a new name, and usually the two names are

inscribed together. King Tut did ascent to the throne long

enough for this to happen, so it begins to be unclear which

name would have evolved into something that we would use

today.  Also, in some cases, kings are considered a 'dual king'. This would denote upper and lower egypt, but I don't think that Tut was a dual king, at least not yet, because he had to deal with a lot of dissent cause by his father's non-traditional state religion that worshiped the sun god as Ra, even though RA exists in other contexts previously.  If he had lived longer, he may have become known as the son of the God that the reversion back to traditional gods favored.

This would most likely be Osiris, Amen or Net, which would have made his dual kingship name Netsen (man of Net) or Amentsen or Amensen or Osirsen.  The symbols for Osir are not as unique in the sound descriptions so it is the least likely I would say. It's hard to read in hieroglyphic.
