What does distant niece mean? ›

A distant niece, relationship wise, is actually a cousin. Of course if she lives a great distance from you and is actually a direct decendent of your brother or sister, you could say she is a 'distant' niece.

Your nephew is the son of your brother or sister, and your niece is your brother or sister's daughter.

Distant relatives do not include parents, siblings, children, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandparents, and grandchildren. Great-aunts, cousins, and second cousins are examples of distant relatives.

For example, someone whose grandparent and your grandparent were siblings is your distant cousin; someone whose grandparent and your grandparent were cousins is your even-more-distant cousin (it's the great-grandparents who were siblings).

If one is significantly older than the other, then the older relative is called a distant aunt/uncle of the younger one. In many cultures, the terms for aunt and uncle can be applied more generally to any close friend of your parents.
