Satsobek (also Sitsobek or Zatsobek; Daughter of Sobek) was an
Thirteenth Dynasty
. Her husband remains unknown. Her name is written Sasobek, without the female t ending in Sat (daughter). This might be a simple mistake or short writing, but it is also possible that she used a male name Sasobek - (Son of Sobek). Male names for women are common in this period.
