first cousin
Uncle's kid, perhaps
A first cousin is the child of one's aunt or uncle—sharing a set of grandparents but not parents.
The term distinguishes from more distant relations like second cousins (who share great-grandparents) or cousins once removed (separated by a generation).
Often shortened to just cousin in casual speech: My first cousin and I grew up together.
