The coya (in Quechua: quya) was the title given to the sovereign lady of the Inca Empire to distinguish her from the other women of the imperial family. The coya was the principal wife of the Inca. Usually, she was his sister and as such was considered "daughter of the Moon (Quilla) and the Sun (Inti)".
