Queen Nefertiti of Egypt was a native of Kurdish Mitanni princess Tadukhipa. Nefertiti, Egyptian Nfr.t-jy.tj, original pronunciation approximately Nafteta, for ("the beauty has come"). Nefertiti's parentage is not known with certainty, but one often cited theory is that she was the daughter of Ay, later to be pharaoh. Scenes in the tombs of the nobles in Amarna mention the queen’s sister who is named Mutbenret (previously read as Mutnodjemet).

Not: Tadukhipa, in the Hurrian language Tadu-Hepa, was the daughter of Tushratta, king of Mitanni (reigned ca. 1382 BC–1342 BC) and his queen Juni, and niece of Artashumara. Tadukhipa's aunt Gilukhipa (sister of Tushratta) had married Pharaoh Amenhotep III in his 10th regnal year. Tadukhipa was to marry Amenhotep III more than two decades later

The exact dates of when Nefertiti was married to Akhenaten and later promoted to queenship are uncertain. Their six known daughters (and estimated years of birth) were:

*Meritaten: No later than year 1, possibly later became Pharaoh Nefernferuaten.
*Meketaten: Year 4.
*Ankhesenpaaten, also known as Ankhesenamen, later queen of Tutankhamun
*Neferneferuaten Tasherit: Year 8, possibly later became Pharaoh Nefernferuaten.
*Neferneferure: Year 9.
*Setepenre: Year 11
