I was watching the mummy and became very interested in Anck-Su-Namun's name and would like to actually know what it means.

Or Ankhesenamun
meaning “She lives through Amun” or “Living through Amun”). She was initially known through her birth name of Ankhesenpaaten (meaning “She lives through the Aten” or “Living through the Aten”) in her earlier years of life. Written, throughout history, are variations of her name as this was altered during her marriage to Tutankhamun. She was approximately thirteen years old when she married Tutankhamun who was most likely her half-brother. Tutankhamun was probably around eight years old at the time that this marriage occurred. This history timeline is known as the Amarna Period.
This is where I got it from:

Anck-Su-Namun (Patricia Velásquez) is the lover of Imhotep and the beautiful mistress of Pharaoh Seti I. She kills the pharaoh at the beginning of The Mummy after a night of passion with Imhotep, and then waits for Imhotep to resurrect her so they can continue their relationship. Anck-su-Namun appears only briefly in The Mummy, as she is undead like Imhotep, and she tries to kill Evelyn in order to become fully alive after her Ba enters her decayed body. However, Jonathan takes command of Imhotep's guards and has them stab Anck-su-Namun to death in the climactic fight sequence. Anck-su-Namun is named after the daughter of Nefertiti, Ankhesenamen.
