Ranefer or Ranofer was a Prince of Egypt during the 4th dynasty.[1] Ranefer means "Ra is beautiful". Ra is the Sun god, and nefer means "beautiful".
Ranefer was a son of pharaoh Sneferu, who was the first ruler of the Fourth dynasty. Ranefer's elder brothers were Nefermaat and Rahotep. They all died before Snofru, because their younger half-brother Khufu became king after Sneferu.[2]
