Merneith meaning 'Beloved of Neith' was the possible wife of Djet and the mother of the Pharaoh Den and was originally thought a male Pharaoh, given the name Merneit. The idea of her marriage to Djet is yet unproven. She held the Titles of King's Mother and Foremost of Women and is known to have been buried in Tomb Y at Umm el-Qa'ab. There are some that believe Djer could have been her father due to artefacts linking her to Djer, Djet and Den.
