great great grandson

Ancestor's distant heir

A great great grandson is a male descendant four generations removed—the grandson of one's grandchild, or equivalently, the son of one's great grandchild.

The term extends the pattern of adding "great" for each generation beyond grandchild: My great great grandson will be born next month.
