Nefermaat II was an Egyptian prince during the 4th dynasty and vizier of his cousin Khafra.
Nefer means "beautiful", and maat means "order". Ma'at is a goddess of order and justice. So, Nefermaat means "beautiful Ma'at".
Nefermaat was a son of Princess Nefertkau I. He was a grandson of Pharaoh Sneferu, nephew of Nefermaat I, Sneferu's eldest son, and cousin to architect Hemiunu.[1]
Nefermaat II was called king's son of his body, so it is possible that his father was a king, maybe Khufu, Nefertkau's half-brother.
Nefermaat had one son, Sneferukhaf, whom he named after Sneferu.[2]
Nefermaat was buried in mastaba G 7060 at Giza.
