Neferneferuaton (tascherit) ( Nefer-neferu-Aton (ta-scherit) ) was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty and the fourth daughter of King ( Pharaoh ) Akhenaten and his great royal consort Nefertiti .

The name Neferneferuaton is formed from an additional designation ( Neferneferuaton - "Perfect are the perfections of the Aton / Most perfect of the Aton") of her mother Nefertiti, who received this in a cartridge from about the 6th year of reign , and the name extension "ta-scherit", which is translated as "the little one, the child".

As with all Akhenaten's daughters, there are also uncertainties about the year of their birth. The assumptions are either between the 7th and 10th or the 6th and 9th year of Akhenaten's reign. She was definitely born before Akhenaten's 12th year of reign, as she is depicted in a scene dating from that year. Another illustration, a mourning scene in the royal tomb of Achet-Aton , shows her together with other family members in front of the dead statue of her older sister Maketaton .
