Ankhenaten I think. Ankh is life and Aten was a sun deity, pharaohs got new names like Popes.

King Tut (of Steve Martin fame) reversed Ankhenaten's monotheistic reforms.

Akhenaten:

The word "akh" could have different translations, such as "satisfied", "effective spirit", or "serviceable to", and thus Akhenaten's name could be translated to mean "Aten is satisfied", "Effective spirit of the Aten", or "Serviceable to the Aten", respectively.
