Amon is a boy's name of Egyptian origin whose very essence defies strict definitions. Named for the revered mythological deity, Amon stems from the Egyptian root jmn and is interpreted as "the hidden one." Though seemingly shrouded in mystery, Amon rather captures the revered god's ability to be whatever his devotees require. Free from rigid titles, Amon personifies the enigma of existence, encompassing all those wonderous elements that cannot be explained. And so his reputation grew to encompass the gods Ra and Min, forever associating him with fertility, creation, and the sun. Amon also has Hebrew origins, stemming from roots that lend the meanings “Mother(land),” “master workman,” and “a nourisher.” Far from being invisible, your little Amon will never shy away from embracing their life to the fullest.
