Meaning & History

Meaning unknown, although the second element of the name (hepa) likely derives from the Hurrian sun goddess Ḫepat. Name borne by a Hittite queen (fl. 13th century BCE). Puduḫepa was the wife of King Hattusili III, and the mother of Maathorneferure, who went on to become the Great Royal Wife of Rameses II.
