Someone answered this already, but it was because he originated monotheism in Egypt and built a new city, Amarna, away from Cairo and the old ways ensconced there. He was also Tutankamun's father, who was named Tutankaton during his father's lifetime. When Akhenaton died, Tutankamun moved the capital back to Cairo and abandoned monotheism.
