Of unknown origin, the name of Herneith is associated several times with that of Horus Djer, suggesting that she may have been one of his queens.
Her name is found in a Saqqara tomb (S3507) assumed to be hers, as well as at Umm el-Qa’ab. Some of the signs accompanying her name have been interpreted as titles confirming that she was indeed a queen. There are no sources that would indicate that she was the mother of Djer’s successor, Djet.
