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.
I don’t think I know the guy on the right. Can I ask for an explainer on who he is and what he did?
I think that’s the Pharaoh who tried to implement an early form of monotheistic sun worship in Egypt.

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