A name that means "egyptian primordial goddess (consort of amun)".

Amunet (Egyptian Imnt, "The Hidden One") was the Egyptian primordial goddess — feminine counterpart of Amun in the Hermopolitan Ogdoad of the eight gods of creation. Together with Amun she represented the hidden, invisible aspect of the primeval cosmos before creation. Worshipped at Karnak alongside Amun and Mut; her temple in Thebes featured her as a serpent or as a woman wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt.

Featured throughout the Hermopolitan creation theology.
