What country does the name Kiya come from?

Kiya was an Ancient Egyptian princess, the wife of Akhenaten. It is possible her name was a contraction of Tadukhipa, another princess. Kiya and Tadukhipa might have been the same person.In Indian culture, Kiya means "the cooing of a bird". Another meaning is "jovial lady".


What happened to Kiya after the 11th year of Akhenaten?

It is unknown what exactly happened to Kiya after Akhenaten's Year 11. It is possible that she died or was exiled. It is unknown who Kiya is or where Kiya came from. Kiya could have been a princess named Tadukhipa from Mitanni. The alliance between Egypt and Mitanni might have ended, resulting in Kiya returning home.The other theory is the Kiya was a mummy known as the Younger Lady. The Younger Lady is the sister of Akhenaten, but also the mother of Tutankhamun, the king after Akhenaten. Akhenaten's chief wife, Nefertiti, might have been jealous and killed Kiya.


When did queen Kiya die?

Queen Kiya was one of Akhenaten's (King Amenhotep IV) wives back in Ancient Egypt. Nefertiti was Akhenaten's chief wife, Kiya was not near as important and little is known of her. She was important though, she bore the king a daughter. Kiya was also thought to have been Tutankhamun's mother. 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. If Kiya and Tadukhipa were the same person then it is a possibility that Egypt's alliance with Mitanni ended, resulting in Kiya/Tadukhipa returning home Mitanni.
