Ang Diyos na si Aten ang sentro ng relihiyon ni Akhenaten, sa simpleng panghahambing. ''Aten'' ang pangalang pinili para isatao ang "bilog na araw". Ginamit ang terminong ''Aten'' para sa "bilog", at dahil bilog ang araw, unti-unti itong naihalubilo sa [[mga bathala ng araw|bathala ng araw]].
 
<--Aten expresses indirectly the life-giving force of light. The full title of Akhenaten's god was ''The Rahorus who rejoices in the horizon, in his/her Name of the Light which is seen in the sun disc''. (This is the title of the god as it appears on the numerous stelae which were placed to mark the boundaries of Akhenaten's new capital at [[Amarna]], or "Akhetaten.") This lengthy name was often shortened to ''Ra-Horus-Aten'' or just ''Aten'' in many texts, but the god Akhenaten had raised to supremacy is considered a [[synthesis]] of very ancient ones viewed in a new and different way. Both [[Ra]] and [[Horus]] characteristics are part of the god, but the god is also considered to be both masculine and feminine simultaneously. All creation was thought to emanate from the god and to exist within the god. In particular, the god was not depicted in anthropomorphic (human) form, but as rays of light extending from the sun's disk. Furthermore, the god's name came to be written within a [[cartouche]], along with the titles normally given to a [[Pharaoh]], another break with ancient tradition.
 
The Aten first appears in texts dating to the [[Twelfth dynasty of Egypt|12th dynasty]], in [[The Story of Sinuhe]]. Ra-Horus, more usually referred to as ''Ra-Herakhty'' (''Ra, who is Horus of the two horizons''), is a synthesis of two other gods, both of which are attested from very early on. During the [[Amarna]] period, this synthesis was seen as the invisible source of energy of the sun god, of which the visible manifestation was the Aten, the solar disk. Thus Ra-Horus-Aten was a development of old ideas which came gradually. The real change is the apparent abandonment of all other gods following the advent of Akhenaten, ''i.e.'', the introduction, apparently by Akhenaten, of [[monotheism]]. This is readily apparent in the [[Great Hymn to the Aten]].
 
 
 
==Royal Titulary==
During the Amarna Period, the Aten was given a Royal Titulary (as he was considered to be king of all), with his names drawn in a [[cartouche]]. There were 2 forms of this title, the first had the names of other gods, and the second later one which was more 'singular' and referred only to the Aten himself.
 
The early form has [[Re-Horakhti]] who rejoices in the Horizon, in his name [[shu (Egyptian deity)|Shu]] which is the Aten. The later form has Re, ruler of the 2 horizons who rejoices in the Horizon, in his name of light which is the Aten.
 
===Variant Vocalizations===
Egyptologists have also vocalized the name as Aton, Atonu, Itni, Itn, and Adon (possibly the source of one of the [[Hebrews|Hebrew]] God's names, [[Adonai|Adon]]).
(Adon literally means Lord in Hebrew, so this possibility is as likely as not. It is the same as the title "Baal" That some Acadian and Pleshet gods were given)
 
===Variant Translations===
Because high relief and low relief illustrations of the Aten show it with a curved surface (see for example the photograph illustrating this article), the late scholar [[Hugh Nibley]] insisted that a more correct translation would be globe, orb or sphere, rather than disk.
 
The three-dimensional spherical shape of the Aten is even more evident when such reliefs are viewed in person, rather than merely in photographs.
