There actually is no Egyptian deity called "Kek". It was just people usurping the name "Kuk" (the actual egyptian god name) and misspelling it or abbreviating "Keku", the "personification of darkness" (I suppose you could make the case for it, but honestly, I truly think it was just people conveniently shoving the label into a conveniently and similarly spelled word -- classic cultural absorption).

do you know when they began spelling it "kek"? i'm seeing in this book that was published in 2003, by Marina Warner, that it's spelled kek.
