I'm dealing with some TV character's lines that speak in slang.

Speaking about a snob girl, she say this to another character near to her:

> 名門 **かなんだか** 知らねえが、あのうえから目線が本当にむかつくぜ。

To me, the general meaning seems to be "I don't care if she came from a noble
family, (but) that her haughty behaviour really piss me off!", but I can't
figure out what is that "かなんだか", before 知らねえ.

May you help me to understand? Thks in advance!

～かなんだか meaning in this sentence
> 「Word/Phrase + **（だ）かなん（だ）か** + 知{し}らない」

should be remembered as a set phrase meaning:

> "I don't care (if something/someone is) ~~ **_or whatever_** "

My own TL:

> "I couldn't care less if she's from a distinguished family or whatever. That
> arrogant attitude of hers just pisses me off."

You pretty much have the meaning down. 何だか can mean "somehow" or "kinda/sorta"
depending on the context. Here, I would translate that part as, "I don't
really know about her being from a noble family, but..."

The 名門か part is short for 名門かどうか, implying, "whether or not (she's from a)
noble family..."

Then you move on to 何だか知らねえが… which, again, I'd translate as, "I don't really
know about that..."

See how 何だか is used in this example sentence. It might help everything click.

> なんだか知らないけど自然{しぜん}に覚えちゃったんだよね。I don't know how, but I just picked it up
