I have read it meant "Ra of the Horizon", which in the sense that it was used by Akhenaten* meant that he was a prophet, or as we might understand it now, he had either dreams, visions, or channelled Ra.
*Akhenaten means in Egyptian "he is agreeable (Akhen-) to the sun-disk (-aten)."
In the following picture, the hands of Ra are seen providing life (extending the Ankh) from the sun (out of picture). It was/is thought the hands were symbolic, but we may view this understanding differently as them being part of the social memory complex.
Quote:2.2 Ra: ...In the Eighteenth Dynasty, as it is known in your records of space/time distortions, we were able to contact a pharaoh, as you would call him. The man was small in life-experience on your plane and was a … what this instrument would call, Wanderer. Thus, this mind/body/spirit complex received our communication distortions and was able to blend his distortions with our own. This young entity had been given a vibratory complex of sound which vibrated in honor of a prosperous god, as this mind/body complex, which we call instrument for convenience, would call “Ammon.” The entity decided that this name, being in honor of one among many gods, was not acceptable for inclusion in his vibratory sound complex. Thus, he changed his name to one which honored the sun disc. This distortion, called “Aten,” was a close distortion to our reality as we understand our own nature of mind/body/spirit complex distortion. However, it does not come totally into alignment with the intended teach/learning which was sent. This entity, Ikhnaton, became convinced that the vibration of One was the true spiritual vibration and thus decreed the Law of One.
However, this entity’s beliefs were accepted by very few. His priests gave lip service only, without the spiritual distortion towards seeking. The peoples continued in their beliefs. When this entity was no longer in this density, again the polarized beliefs in the many gods came into their own and continued so until the one known as Mohammed delivered the peoples into a more intelligible distortion of mind/body/spirit relationships.
Amunhotep (IV) changed his name to Akhenaten. Note: The Law of One Materials could be corrected on the spelling though this is not of great importance.
