Years active	c. 2550 BC
Children	Djaty II
Parent	Possibly Meresankh II

Djaty may have been the son of Queen Meresankh II, the daughter of King Khufu. Djaty's sisters were Nefertkau III and Nebty-tepites.^[2]

Because Djaty had the title King's son of his body (za-nesut khetef, zꜣ-nswt ẖt.f), it is assumed he was the son of one king. It is known that Meresankh II married a king after the death of her first husband Horbaef. This king would be a father of Djaty – either Djedefre or Khafre. However, Djaty maybe had his title because he was a grandson of Khufu.^[3]

Djaty was married and had a son Djaty II. It is possible that he had more sons.^[3]

After his death, Djaty was buried in the tomb known as G 7810.^[4] This is a mastaba at Giza. In the tomb, his wife and son are depicted. Djaty II is described as the eldest son of Djaty I.
