Nefertary is a beautiful and unique feminine given name of Egyptian origin. It means "Beautiful companion" or "The beautiful one has come". The name is composed of two parts: "Nefer", which means "beautiful", and "Tari", meaning "companion".
The name Nefertary is not commonly found in Egyptian history, but it has been used occasionally throughout the centuries. One notable figure with this name is Nefertary, a lesser-known wife of Pharaoh Ramses II during Egypt's 19th Dynasty around 1200 BCE.
Today, Nefertary is still used as a given name, predominantly in Egypt and among those interested in Egyptian culture and history. Despite its unique sound, it remains relatively rare compared to other popular Egyptian names like Cleopatra or Neferiti. Nevertheless, Nefertary continues to captivate people with its distinctive charm and meaningful origin.
Nefertary saw an increase in popularity from 2016 to 2017, with births nearly tripling during that period.
