stepniece

Stepsibling's daughter perhaps

A stepniece is the daughter of one's stepsibling, or the stepdaughter of one's sibling.

The relationship arises through marriage rather than blood: My stepniece is coming to Thanksgiving this year—she's my stepsister's daughter.

Like other step-relations, the term describes family connections created when parents remarry.
