Nefer is an ancient Egyptian word meaning beautiful or perfect. It is a direct and impactful name with deep roots in Egyptian history and culture, famously forming parts of names like Nefertiti (meaning the beautiful one has come) and Nefertari (meaning the most beautiful of them all), both powerful queens of ancient Egypt. As a standalone first name, Nefer is exceedingly rare in the United States and globally, making it a unique and distinctly unconventional choice that perfectly fits a hippie sensibility while maintaining its Egyptian heritage. Its simplicity and profound meaning make it appealing for those seeking a name that is both ancient and distinct. There are no famous individuals known by the first name Nefer.
