akh, in Egyptian religion, the spirit of a deceased person and, with the ka and the ba, a principal aspect of the soul. By enabling the soul to assume temporarily any form it desired for the purpose of revisiting the earth or for its own enjoyment, the akh characterized the soul of a deceased person as an effective entity in the next world.
An akh is the blessed or ‘transfigured’ soul of a person who died and whose soul had been judged by Osiris and found maat kheru- justified. An akh was an effective spirit, one could still influence events in this world.”
Noun akh (plural akhs) (Islam, MLE, MTE, slang) Brother; a close male friend or associate.
Akh is usually translated as 'spirit' and was the higher form of the soul. Spell 474 of the Pyramid Texts states, "the akh belongs to heaven, the corpse to earth," and it was the akh which would enjoy eternity among the stars with the gods.
The meaning of AKH is the spirit of a deceased person conceived as gloriously transfigured so as to reflect the deeds of the person in life.
Think of the Akh like a spiritual part, similar to the thought of a forever soul in many now religions, but with Egyptian qualities and importance. The Akh is a key part of the ancient Egyptian soul, representing the transformed spirit of the deceased.
