A name that means "mistress of love (khufu's queen)".

Henutsen means "their mistress" or "mistress of love" in Egyptian. Queen Henutsen (c. 2580 BCE) was the wife of Pharaoh Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid — mother of Pharaoh Khafre. The smallest of the three queens' pyramids beside the Great Pyramid is hers, and a chapel there became the famous "Temple of Isis, Mistress of the Pyramid" in later periods.

Featured in Egyptian dynastic genealogies.
