great-great-nephew
Sibling's distant descendant
A great-great-nephew is the son of one's great-nephew or great-niece—that is, a sibling's great-great-grandson.
The relationship spans five generations: from you to your sibling to their child to their grandchild to their great-grandchild.
My great-great-nephew was born last month, making five generations alive at once.
