Yatamni is the tritheistic ethnic religion of the Jihuthi people. Although the Jihuthis were originally polytheistic, their own legends speak of how several centuries ago, their chief god, Ichunu, descended to Troyosha—the capital city of their greatest empire—and commanded them to cease worshiping all divinities save for him, his brother Nihuri, and his daughter Coyone.
Etymology
As in the case of Saphorism, Yatamni is mostly an exonym—it is a term used mainly by Lucians to refer to the religious beliefs and practices of the Jihuthis. Yatamni is indeed a Jihuthi word, but it refers to the entire way of life of the Jihuthis; it includes their customs, laws, mores, taboos, language, food, holy days, and religious practices. Referring to Yatamni as the "religion" of the Jihuthis is an oversimplification at best and a misunderstanding at worst.
