Beketaten (Ancient Egyptian: bꜣk.t-itn)[1] (14th century BCE) was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty. Beketaten is considered to be the youngest daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his Great Royal Wife Tiye, thus the sister of Pharaoh Akhenaten.[2] Her name means "Handmaid of Aten".[1]
