The name of the god Thoth is an ancient Greek transcription of the original name Djehuty. Thutmose is a modern compromise between the Greek transcription Thutmosis and Djehutimes. He was not the intended successor chosen by his father Amenhotep II, but rather usurped the throne from his elder brother.
