17 tips:What am I called to my cousin’s son 2024?
You are your cousin’s son’s first cousin, once removed, and he is your first cousin, once removed. What he calls you when he’s speaking to you can vary. He might call you “Cousin Firstname.” If you and your cousin are very close, and you feel like an uncle, he might call you “Uncle First Name.” In the USA, where I live, there isn’t a standard way to address this particular relationship, so every family works it out differently.
What am I called to my cousin’s son?
The technically correct Answer is “first cousin once removed.”
When I say this, I am assuming that your “cousin” is your first cousin. In other words, I am assuming that you and your cousin share a pair of grandparents but not a pair of parents. That is the definition of a first cousin.
If your “cousin” is your second cousin, that would mean that you share great-grandparents but not grandparents. In that case, your second cousin’s son would be your “second cousin once removed.”
The “removed” terminology specifies that the two of you are not members of the same generation. You and your cousin belong to the same generation, but the son of your cousin is one generation away from the two of you. He belongs to a younger generation than you and your cousin.
Your first cousin’s grandson would be a “first cousin twice removed” to you. Your second cousin’s grandson would be your “second cousin twice removed.” In each case, that is because he is two generations away from you and your cousin.
The language used for these relationships could be better. For instance, not only are you “first cousin once removed” to your cousin’s son, but your cousin’s son is also “first cousin once removed” to you. The same difficulty applies to the relationship of “first cousin twice removed.” Logically, it would make sense for a different term to apply depending on which direction the “removed” goes. Consider, for instance, the difference between a nephew and an uncle — these words specify which person belongs to the older generation.
Worse yet, many people use the word “cousin” very loosely to signify any family relationship more distant than the extremely close ones like brother, sister, aunt, and uncle. If the word “cousin” is used in that way, then the whole discussion collapses into ambiguity.
What am I called to my cousin’s son?
Normally, aunt if it’s a female, uncle if it’s a male. But also cousin if the age gap needs to be more relevant.
To give you an example, my mother is almost 20 years younger than her sister. She had a daughter around the same age as my mother. Thus, I have a cousin who is older than me, ~20 years, and her daughter is one year my senior. Technically, my niece is older than me; I prefer to call her my cousin.
What am I called to my cousin’s son?
That’s between you and your family. My mom had me call her adult cousins “Cousin So-and-so” and their kids by their first names. My kids have never met my cousins or addressed them, but their dad’s family doesn’t differentiate one sister’s kids and grandkids from the other. The adult cousins all grew up together; their kids address their (the adults’) siblings and cousins the same way (Aunt and Uncle), and their (the adults’) cousins’ kids the same as they would their cousins. My kids call my ex’s mom Granny, and her sister they call Auntie Grandma. Granny’s sister’s grandkids call their grandma Gram and my kids’ grandma they call Aunt Gran. My ex’s siblings have no kids, but if they did, they’d probably do the same as my kids do.
What am I called to my cousin’s son?
If you mean your first cousin, then your son and their son are second cousins. Your first cousin is your son’s first cousin once removed (one generation removed). The children of first cousins are second cousins because they’re the second generation outside of the nuclear family.
What am I called to my cousin’s son?
By his first name. Your cousin is your son’s 2nd cousin, which makes his son your son’s 3rd cousin (your 2nd cousin). Some genealogists may say that your cousin is your son’s 2nd cousin once removed, making his son your son’s 3rd cousin twice removed. I’m not too keen about the whole “removed” nonsense because it makes it sound like the cousins have been disowned. In most cultures, though, some people would have their children call their (the parents’) cousins “Uncle” or “Aunt” [whatever the person’s name]. Just like my nephews (and niece), I prefer to be called by my first name, no matter what the distance relationship is between cousins, as long as there’s no disrespect.
Are my cousins’ kids my nieces and nephews or cousins?
This is going to sound controversial, but they are your nieces/nephews.
The biggest factor is the cultural impact. Western traditions would say no (as seen from Quora answers) and would refer to cousin’s kids, in the literal sense, 1st cousins, once removed, but address it as a cousin.
However, in Asian or different cultures, we would say niece and nephew. When I tell my friends that I have a niece or nephew who happens to be my cousin’s kid, they dismiss it and tell me that they are my cousin and that the niece and nephew are a sibling’s kid. Yes, we do look at our sibling kids as nieces and nephews, and so do our cousin’s kids.
There is a difference between that. In Asian culture, we are very family-orientated people, and we value family more than everything. We look at family not from an individual perspective but from a shared and harmonization perspective. In a typical Western family, they believe in a nuclear family and from an individual perspective, which is:
Family: Father- Mother- Children
Relatives: Uncle- Aunt- Cousin- Grandmother- Grandfather.
The closest extent they can consider as the whole family’s first cousin from your (the child’s) perspective.
They would consider that as an immediate family or an extended family.
In an Asian household, we do have an immediate family like:
Immediate: Father- Mother- Children.
Extended: Parent’s Sibling’s Family- Grandparent’s Sibling’s Family- Great- Grandparent’s Sibling’s Family etc.
Hence, we know our first, second, and third cousins to an extent.
We don’t remove people from our family because of a family line (unless for other factors).
We also look at our cousins almost like siblings (yes- I’m aware some cultures look at their cousins as their potential partners); therefore, we address their children as nieces and nephews (because we do not remove people based on family line).
Henceforth, as an Asian person myself, when someone asked me about my niblings (niece and nephew)- my immediate siblings would be my sibling’s children, but my extended siblings would be my cousin’s children. Plus, most cultures actually use this method of harmonization rather than the Western ideology’s perspective on family.
Additionally, from the perspective of the child- when it comes to your parent’s cousin, we address them as aunt or uncle because of the respect and the reasoning above.
Are my cousins’ kids my nieces and nephews or cousins?
Depends on your culture. In the US, they’d be your 1st cousins once removed or your second cousins. However, if you’re Filipino, they’re your nieces and nephews.
I was born rather late to my parents, so most of my actual cousins are 20+ years older than me, so our relationship has been more like aunt/uncle and nephew. So their kids are more like my cousins.
Are my cousins’ kids my nieces and nephews or cousins?
Short Answer: they are your first cousins, once removed. Your child and your first cousin’s child are second cousins.
I couldn’t finish the longer explanation tonight since it is way past bedtime for my 12yo, who alleges that he needs no more than 5 hours per night to maintain good health and a high IQ.
(The following Answer is a bit more detailed. Please don’t “rate” it, therefore, until I have my first opportunity to finish it. I’m very busy, especially at this time, so I will not take offence if anybody wants to pick it up in whole or in part and finish it. The irony is that until I was in my thirties, I did not truly understand the cousin thing. Then, I sat with my second cousin, whom I had never met, at a family reunion. The subject came up, followed by much confusion that people needed more patience and proclivities towards. When the disinterested had cleared, only my second cousin and I remained. So she gave me the cousin lesson, short for her, long for me. Her name was Sierra, not Sienna, and I’ve not seen her ever again, not even once, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget her.) It could have been answered after all.
This Answer refers to familial relationships in the conventional family, according to most American cultural traditions. Suppose they are the children of your first cousin (i.e., you and the cousin share either maternal or paternal grandparents. Additionally, you have a parent who is a sibling to one of your cousin’s parents.
How am I related to my third cousin’s son? Third cousin? Was the third cousin once removed?
The third cousin once removed because your third cousin’s son is a generation down from you. Your third cousin’s son and your child would be fourth cousins.
What is my Father’s 4th cousin to me (his son)?
Assuming the typo and the question is “Father’s 4th cousin” –
As you are your Father’s son – that’s one generation in between you.
So if your Father has a relationship with a person as being 4th cousin – your relationship to that person is “4th cousins once removed” (One = once)
What relation is my cousin’s child to me?
I call my cousin’s son my nephew. He calls me his aunt. My kids call my cousin their aunt. She calls my kids her niece and nephew. We explain to them that we’re cousins, but we’re close, and we’ll call each other what makes sense to us. We’re all family, and that’s all that matters.
What relation is my cousin’s child to me?
First cousin, once removed. It is not about age; and it is about generations from common ancestors.
Begin with the common ancestors (for example, common grandparents) and construct the generations from that point. The first generation are siblings. The children of the siblings are first cousins to each other. The children of the first cousins are second cousins to each other. The children of the second cousins are third cousins to each other. And so on.
If the generations “cross over,” as in your example, then it is “removed” by the number of generations crossed. For example, your cousin’s grandchild will be your first cousin twice removed. If you draw out the family tree on a piece of paper, beginning with the common ancestors, it may make more sense.
Am I related to my grandma’s third cousin’s son?
A third cousin is fairly distant. Your grandmother’s third cousin is your third cousin twice removed – even more remote. His son is your fourth cousin once removed. If he had a child, that would be your 5th cousin.
All of those are relatives, but the typical person doesn’t know these distant relatives.
Why are both my Father’s second cousin and my second cousin’s son, my second cousin, once removed? In the second case, you add one generation.
Because “once removed” goes both ways in one generation. Your Father’s second cousin is one generation above you, so he’s your second cousin once removed. It goes the same way for him that you do for your second cousin’s son. Also, one generation is “removed.” If this needs to be clarified, then read Naomi Levell’s answer, and if you still need it, get back to me.
What do I call my cousin’s niece? Are we related?
As I understand it, a cousin’s niece is the daughter of someone who is still your cousin. If my aunt had two children or more, one of their children would be a niece or nephew to the rest of my cousins. Their children would be my second cousins. You are related to your cousin’s niece, but each time you are removed, the blood gets thinner.
What do I call my cousin’s niece? Are we related?
This depends. If it’s your cousin’s niece by her sibling, and you too are related to them by your parent being a sibling of their parent, then the niece is related to you as your first cousin once removed.
If the niece is her niece by her marriage, however, then you are not related. For example, if it is her husband’s brother/sister’s daughter, then you are not related. If you want her to call you “auntie”, then you can. I’ve known people who have done this just because everyone is close. I hope that made sense!
What should I call my dad’s cousin’s son?
His name?
If you’re looking for a familial relationship, your dad’s cousin is your first cousin once removed, and you and your dad’s cousin’s son are second cousins. In my maternal extended family, there are so many generations; everyone who isn’t a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or sibling is just called a “cousin” regardless of the once removed, second cousin, etc., status.
Is my cousin’s son my nephew or my cousin?
If your cousin is your first cousin, his son is your first cousin, once removed.
That son and your children will be second cousins.
When that son has children, they will be your first cousins, twice removed.
They would be your children’s second cousins once removed.
They would be your grandchildren’s third cousins.
How do you call “the child of your cousin” in English?
The “technical” genealogical term is “first cousin once removed.” You and your cousin are of the same generation, sharing grandparents. Your cousin’s child is one generation younger than you, so “removed” one generation. A parent cousin is also a “first cousin once removed.” Your parent and their cousin are of the same generation, sharing grandparents, and your parent’s cousin is one generation older than you, so “removed” one generation.
As for how to address that person in conversation, it depends. If you’re the same age, or if the first cousin once removed is younger than you, you would likely address him or her by first name, like “John” or “Mary.” If you’re younger than the first cousin once removed, you might call him or her “Cousin John” or “Cousin Mary.” If your parent and his or her cousin have a very close relationship (so that they feel as close as brothers and sisters), you might call them “Uncle John” or “Aunt Mary.” Or you might use the first names of older first cousins once removed. It depends on how formal your family is.
I had a weird moment at my nephew’s wedding. I was in line at the buffet table getting a piece of wedding cake, talking with one of the bride’s relatives. I introduced myself as “[Groom’s Name] ‘s aunt” and asked him, “Are you [Bride’s Name] ‘s uncle?” because I couldn’t remember her Father’s first name. He said, “I’m [Bride’s Father] ‘s cousin, so I’m here….” and then I said, in unison with the person serving the cake, “First cousin once removed.” No, I don’t know what the bride called him.
How do you call “the child of your cousin” in English?
Casually: ‘my cousin’ or ‘my cousin’s daughter/son’.
More accurately: ‘my first cousin once removed’.
Not as accurately, but well accepted anyway: ‘my second cousin’ (in fact, they are NOT my second cousins; they are the second cousins of my children).
‘one of my relatives’.
If the age difference is significant, however, people often use other ‘relative’ words – for instance, my Father’s first cousins were about his age – or the age of my parents – so I usually called them ‘Uncle’ or ‘Aunt’ even though they were – technically – first cousins once removed.
What does my cousin’s child call me an aunt?
Your cousin’s child is your “first cousin, once removed”. The appropriate title for them would be niece or nephew, so they may call you Aunt. Aunt is an affectionate term for someone in your family who is not your predecessor, like your Mother or Grandmother, etc.
What does my cousin’s child call me an aunt?
Of course! “Aunt” or “Auntie” is an affectionate title for a woman older than you within your family or even just a woman who is a close family friend in many cultures. If one is in doubt, ask permission before addressing a woman as such. But you can permit anyone to call you “Aunt Betty,” for example.
If you are asking genealogically, that is something else. I’ve known but can never remember what constitutes being “second cousins” or “second/third cousins once/twice removed”, etc. because everyone is “cousins” to me, and I can place them on an extended family tree or genealogical chart and their names are more important to me than their relational title. If I wanted to feel tied to royalty, it might be different. If I wanted to marry one, then it would be important to know they were distant enough cousins!
What would I be to my second cousin’s children? I know that my first cousin’s children would call me uncle.
You are not the uncle to any of them.
Your second cousin’s children are your second cousins once removed.
Your first cousin’s children are your first cousins once removed.
Your children and your first cousin’s children are second cousins.
Your children and your second cousin’s children are third cousins.
(You are the uncle of your siblings’ children, not your cousin’s children.)
What are my cousin’s children to me? Can they call me Aunt?
Your cousin’s children are your cousins, too! The first cousin once removed, to be more specific. Usually, they will call you by your first name or “Cousin (your name)”. If you are at least 15 years older than them, it would be fine if they call you “Aunt” because you usually call relatives or friends your parents’ age “Aunt” or “Uncle”. If they are your age, call them by their name!
I have a cousin who has had a son. My aunt said that my cousin’s son would be my nephew. Is this correct?
I have a cousin who has had a son. My aunt said that my cousin’s son would be my nephew. Is this correct?
No, a nephew is a son of your brother or sister. You need to work out who is your common ancestor. In the case of your nephew, the common ancestor would be either your mother or your Father.
Now, as to a cousin, your common ancestor would be one of your sets of grandparents, and this would also apply to you and your cousin’s son.
Your cousin is called your first cousin, and your cousin’s son would be your first cousin once removed. The word once removed means that he is of the next generation to you.
What is your cousin’s daughter’s daughter called?
Your cousin’s daughter’s daughter, also known as her Granddaughter, would be known as your cousin’s Granddaughter. The seemingly accurate description would be your first cousin twice removed, which sounds terribly pretentious & affected; all the “removed” stuff isn’t really taught that widely. Cousin – Wikipedia & not everyone will understand it; if you want to make sure everyone understands – say she is your cousin’s Granddaughter.
How is my cousin’s daughter related to my daughter?
The children are second cousins to each other.
People who have the same grandparents are first cousins. People who have the same great-grandparents are second cousins.
Your cousin’s child is your first cousin, once removed because you and your cousin are in the same generation (you have grandparents in common), and your cousin’s child is a generation removed from you (your grandparents are the child’s great-grandparents)
What do I call my cousin’s daughter? Is she my niece, technically?
Technically, everyone is right about the cousin thing, but does it really matter if you call her your niece?
Plenty of Aunts have nieces and nephews by choice – those that aren’t technically your niece or nephew but children that you have adopted treat as if they were by relation.
I have Aunts that aren’t my Aunts, and I have a niece that isn’t my niece. Family is family. Call her whatever you want. As long as you love her, titles don’t matter.
Your cousin’s daughter is your cousin once removed because your cousin stood between the two of you. Your children and her children are second cousins.
I have been into genealogy for at least twenty years, and many people need clarification. Your cousin’s daughter is NOT your second cousin. Your cousin and your cousin’s children are second cousins.
What is the relationship of my first cousin’s child to me? Is the child considered a second cousin, or what would be the relationship?
Your first cousin’s child is your first cousin once removed (needs no comma). On genealogical charts, this is marked “1 Co 1 r.”
The term “once removed” means one generation apart — which is true in your situation because you belong to the same generation ‘level’ as your first cousin, and the child is one generation ‘lower’ than you.
Your child and the first cousin’s child are themselves second cousins to each other.
What is the relationship of my first cousin’s child to me?
This is what they call first cousin once removed.

Your second cousin’s child is your second cousin, once removed.
What relation is my cousin’s child to me?
I call my cousin’s son my nephew. He calls me his aunt. My kids call my cousin their aunt. She calls my kids her niece and nephew. We explain to them that we’re cousins, but we’re close, and we’ll call each other what makes sense to us. We’re all family, and that’s all that matters.

I had to look this up a while ago when trying to figure out if my cousin’s new baby is a first or second cousin.
If you share the same grandparents, they are your First cousins.
If your grandparents are their great-grandparents, they are your first cousins once removed.
