nieces

Your brother's girls

Nieces is the plural of niece, a word for the daughter of one's sibling or the daughter of one's spouse's sibling.

The relationship is reciprocal: if someone is your niece, you are their aunt or uncle.

Nieces and nephews are often grouped together when referring to this generation of relatives collectively.

I'm taking my nieces to the zoo this weekend.
