great-great-grandsons
Great-grandchildren's male children
Great-great-grandsons are the male children of one's great-grandchildren, representing the fifth generation in a direct line of descent.
The term follows the pattern of adding "great-" prefixes to indicate each additional generation beyond grandchildren.
His great-great-grandsons will inherit the family estate.
Such terms appear most often in genealogical discussions, legal documents concerning inheritance, or when describing unusually long-lived individuals who witness multiple generations of descendants.
