amenhotep

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'egyptian name' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'represented on the map around capital of egypt' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'capital of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'egypt' is 'e'.
'on'+'the'+'map'='onthemap'
'onthemap' is an anagram of 'amenhotp'.
'amenhotp' placed around 'e' is 'AMENHOTEP'.
