The followers of Akhenaten did not 'become' the Jews, and the Semitic word 'amen' has no etymological link with Egyptian as far as I know.
There were no Jews in Egypt - possibly ever! At least 1500 years divides the emergence of Jews from Akhenaten.
The Exodus story is completely bogus for a huge number of reasons. The main one being that despite rigorous record keeping there is no mention of them in any Egyptian writing, or sculpture. The other is that the bible seems oddly reticent about basic facts of the 'captivity', such as the actual name of the Pharaoh.
When they are mentioned, they are mentioned as a newly formed nation in the Palestine region.

Wiki
"Jesus" is a transliteration, occurring in a number of languages and based on the Latin Iesus, of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), itself a hellenization of the Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yĕhōšuă‘, Joshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic יֵשׁוּעַ (Yēšûă‘), both meaning "Yahweh delivers" or "Yahweh rescues". In Arabic, it is عيسى.[40][41]
Or maybe not?
