I whanau a Beyoncé Giselle Knowles i Houston, Texas, ki a Celestine "Tina" Knowles (née Beyincé), he makawe makawe me te rangatira o te salon, me Mathew Knowles, he kaiwhakahaere hokohoko Xerox. Ko te ingoa o Beyoncé he mihi ki te ingoa wahine o tona whaea. Ko te tuahine iti o Beyoncé Solange he kaiwaiata me te kaikanikani taapiri mo Destiny's Child. Ko Solange raua ko Beyoncé nga tuahine tuatahi i whai i nga pukaemi Nama 1. Ko Mathew he Amerikana Awherika, ko Tina he uri no Louisiana Creole (Awherika, Native American, me te French). Na tona whaea, ko Beyoncé he uri o te kaiarahi Acadian a Joseph Broussard. I haere a Beyoncé ki te kura a Mary St. i Montessori i Houston, i uru ai ia ki nga akomanga waiata takitahi. I te tau 1995 i kitea e Darlene Knowles, he kaiwhakahaere hokohoko Xerox. I te wa e toru o te kura tuarua i whakauruhia e tana papa ki te mahi i te roopu waiata a tona papa i te kura nui rawa atu i te kura.
