Family

Duaenhor is thought by some to be a son of Crown Prince Kawab and Queen consort Hetepheres II. If so, he would have been a grandson of Pharaoh Khufu and Queen Meritites I.[1] On the other hand, based on his titles, he may be one of the younger sons of Khufu (along with Kaemsekhem (G 7660), and Mindjedef (G 7760)).[2]

Duaenhor's brothers were Kaemsekhem and Mindjedef.[2] A daughter of Duaenhor was named Nebtyhotep.[3]

He held the titles King’s son of his body and Companion of his father.[4]
