Neferubity (Egyptian (Ancient);: nfrw bity) was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty. She was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I and Ahmose, the sister of Hatshepsut and the half-sister of Thutmose II, Wadjmose and Amenmose.[1]
Her name means "Beauties of Lower Egypt" through the hieroglyphs "nefer", meaning "beauty", and "bity", meaning "Lower Egypt".
She is depicted with her parents Thutmose I and Ahmose in Hatshepsut's Deir el-Bahari mortuary temple, then vanishes. It is assumed that she died young, with her only depiction having a "sidelock of youth".[2] [3]
