Which ancient Egyptian queen had a name meaning "the beauty has come"?
Nefertiti: original pronunciation Nafteta for ("the beauty has come").
Neferneferuaten Nefertiti (ca. 1370 – ca. 1330 BC) was an Egyptian queen and the Great Royal Wife (chief consort) of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshiped one god only, Aten, or the sun disc. Together Akhenaten and Nefertiti were responsible for the creation of a whole new monotheistic religion which changed the ways of religion within Egypt. With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of Ancient Egyptian history.

I remember a movie (really OLD movie) with Loretta Young as Nefertiti and always think of her when seeing or reading anything about Nefertiti.
