Family

Khufukhaf had the title "king's son". It is possible that he was a son of Prince Khufukhaf I. However, the only known sons of Khufukhaf I's were Wetka and Iuenka. Reisner claimed that Khufukhaf II was a grandson of Khufukhaf I and thus a son of either Wetka, Iuenka or Khufukhaf I's daughter. It is most possible that Khufukhaf II was a grandson, and not the son of Khufukhaf I.^[1]

There was a wife of Khufukhaf I and her name was Khentkaus. She was King's daughter of his body. Thus she was a daughter of one pharaoh. Khentkaus and Khufukhaf had two sons - Khaf-Khufu and Sety-Ptah.^[2]

Khufukhaf died during the reign of pharaoh Nyuserre Ini.^[3]
