The greatest likelyhood is based in the fact there are two names:
This is a good approximation of its meaning.
Anephenaton (An-apheni-ton) - which in cognate would be connected to

I did more work with finding out more about this after our last debate - and I worked with a spirit know to help me fill in blanks VERY well, and i approached him through Arbatel revisions and updates I made last year during my sabbatical from here. That spirit led me to a man, or rather led him right into my workplace - that very same day. We were talking about mobile technology, and I was showing him my phone.

This is EXACTLY the kind of story that would pop up in early Qabala and Greek Magick.
