Nefer is the Egyptian word for beauty.
Nefer-Neferu-Aten, Beautiful is the beauty of Aten: the chief (and in this case) ONLY wife to Pharaoh Akenaten; her nickname was Nefertiti, which means the beautiful One comes. 18th dynasty.
Also Nefertiri, the Beautiful Lady. Daughter of Pharaoh Seti I. Chief wife to Rameses the Great. 19th dynasty.
Hope this helps.

Nefer means "beautiful" or "good" or "happy" in ancient Egyptian.
Strangely enough, when written in the hieroglyphic script it is shown as a sign representing the heart and windpipe. This same image was often used as an amulet or as part of larger pieces of jewelry.

Nefer means beauty or beautiful in Egyptian. It can be used alone as a name, of course, but it is often combined with other words
Nefertiti, beautiful one
Or combined with God's names-
Setnefer- Beauty of Set
Neferamon- Beauty of Amon
Etc.

Look to the Egyptians for the answer.Nefertiti was an Egyptian Queen, married to Tutankamon.
