A daughter of an unnamed Libyan chief, her name perhaps means “our joy (pertains) to her”. Penreshnes borne prince Nimlot B who was later appointed Commander of all the infantry at Herakleopolis Magna by his father.

Penreshnes is known from a number of documents, particularly by a statue of his son of unknown provenience now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna (ÄS 5791)
