Family

Duaenhor is thought by some to be a son of Crown Prince Kawab and Queen Hetepheres II. If so, he would have been a grandson of Pharaoh Khufu and Queen Meritites I. On the other hand, based on his titles, he may be one of the younger sons of Khufu (along with Khaemsekhem (G 7660), and Mindjedef (G 7760)).

Duaenhor's brothers were Kaemsekhem and Mindjedef. A daughter of Duaenhor was named Nebtyhotep.

He held the titles King’s son of his body and Companion of his father.
