Argead dynasty
Her mother Berenice was a noblewoman from Eordeaea. She was the daughter of local obscure nobleman Magas and noblewoman Antigone. Berenice's mother was the niece of the powerful Regent Antipater and was a distant collateral relative to the Argead dynasty. Her name was either chosen by her parents or she was probably named in honour of a relative either from her mother's or father's family.
