From Coptic ⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ (amoun), from Egyptian jmn (“the god Amun”). The variant forms Ammon and Amon are from Ancient Greek Ἄμμων (Ámmōn), from the same Egyptian source. The variant Amen is from Ȧmen, Lepsius’s obsolete 19th century transcription of the original Egyptian word.

Amun

1. (Egyptian mythology) An Egyptian wind deity associated with the town of Thebes; later (post-16th century BCE) the creator deity, often depicted with curling ram horns.
   • 1866, John G. Whittier, Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyl‎:

     The hornèd patriarch of the sheep,
     Like Egypt's Amun roused from sleep,
     Shook his sage head with gesture mute,
     And emphasized with stamp of foot.
