Djaty was the son of Queen Meresankh II, the daughter of King Khufu. Djaty's sisters were Nefertkau III and Nebty-tepites.
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 pharaoh. 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.
Djaty was married and had a son Djaty II. It is possible that he had more sons.
After his death, Djaty was buried in the tomb known as G 7810. 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.
