Queen Kiya was one of Akhenaten's wives. Little is know about Kiya, where she came from or who she is.
It is possible Kiya and Tadukhipa are the same person and that Kiya is a contraction of Tadukhipa's name. Tadukhipa was a Mitanni princess who marries Amenhotep III (Akhenaten's father). If this is true, Kiya was also Akhenaten's mother-in-law.
A second possibility is that Kiya is Tutankhamun's mother. Tutankhamun was the king after Akhenaten. Tutankhamun's parents were Akhenaten and an unknown woman referred to as the Younger Lady. The Younger Lady is Akhenaten's sister. If this is theory is true, then Kiya is Akhenaten's wife and sister.

DNA testing has proven that false.It is unknown whether Queen Kiya was a native Egyptian or a foreign princess. Kiya is an unusual name and could have come from being a foreign princess. The daughter of King Tushratta of Mitanni, Tadukhipa, married Amenhotep III near the end of his reign. After Amenhotep III's death she married Akhenaten. This is all speculation, there is no clear evidence that Kiya was Tadukhipa.The date of Kiya's death is also unknown. She disappeared from all records in the last third of Akhenaten's reign.
