maternal grandchildren
Children of daughters
Maternal grandchildren are the children of one's daughter or daughters.
The term distinguishes them from paternal grandchildren, who are the offspring of one's son or sons.
In contexts where lineage, inheritance, or family relationships matter, the distinction helps clarify through which child the grandparent-grandchild connection runs.
Her maternal grandchildren visited every summer, while she saw her paternal grandchildren less often.
