Based on several official records, Merneith or Merit-Neith may have been the very first female pharaoh and queen regnant in her own right in recorded history. Her rule occurred around 2950 BC for an undetermined period. Merneith's name means "Beloved by Neith" and her stele contains symbols of that ancient Egyptian deity. She may have been Djer's daughter and was probably Djet's senior royal wife. She was also the mother of Den, her successor.
