Thutmose (also rendered Thutmosis, Tuthmose, Tutmosis, Thothmes, Tuthmosis, Djhutmose, etc.) is the name conventionally given to several Egyptian pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, an Anglicisation of the Egyptian name "Djehuty-mes", usually translated as "Born of the god Thoth":
Although Egyptologists preferred the Greek Manethonian spelling "Thutmosis" at an earlier time in the history of the discipline, more recent usage has tended towards the 'compromise' spelling of "Thutmose", as used in this article.
It was also the name of Crown Prince Thutmose, an elder brother of Pharaoh Akhenaten.
A relatively common name at this period, Thutmose is also the name of several prominent non-royal ancient Egyptians, including Akhenaten's court sculptor at Amarna, to whom is attributed the famous Berlin bust of Nefertiti.
