Sun-worshiping queen (9)

I believe the answer is:

nefertiti

(Other definitions for nefertiti that I've seen before include "Name of queen" , "Egyptian queen, the wife of Akhenaton" , "Beautiful queen who ruled Egypt with the Pharaoh" , "Egyptian beauty queen" , "Oddly, the Egyptian queen is an entire fit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
