Etymologies of Heliohapt names
Here is a list of my speculations of the origins of Heliohapt related names! There's no really confirmation for these, some are pretty obvious but other are more like guesses.

» Almakan Amun-Ra — Named after the brother of Sharrkan from the 1001 Night, Al-Makan. The surname a reference to the Ancient Egyptian god Amun-Ra, when the god Amun was fused with the Sun god Ra.
» Anbis — Named after the Egyptian god Anubis.
» Heliohapt — From Ancient Greek helios (Ἥλιος) "sun" and hapto (ἅπτω) "to bind, to fasten to, to touch".
» Hormes — Named after the Egyptian god Hermes.
» Kukulkan — Sphintus's snake, named after the Mesoamerican serpent deity of the same name.
» Patra Amun-Ra — Got her name from Cleopatra. The surname a reference to the Ancient Egyptian god Amun-Ra, when the god Amun was fused with the Sun god Ra.
» Sharrkan Amun-Ra — Named after Sharrkan, a character from 1001 Nights. Technically the surname "Amun-Ra" is never used for Sharrkan, but it's used for his brother. It's a reference to the Ancient Egyptian god Amun-Ra, when the god Amun was fused with the Sun god Ra.
» Sphintus Khamen — Sphintus is a reference to the Sphinx. And indeed, it is Khamen, not Carmen. Khamen is a part that exists in the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen.
