great great grandchild

Ancestor's distant offspring

A great great grandchild is the child of one's great grandchild, or equivalently, a grandchild's grandchild—four generations removed from oneself.

The term follows the pattern of adding "great" for each generation beyond grandchild.

Like other kinship terms at this generational distance, it appears most often in genealogical contexts or when discussing family legacy.
