Grandnieces

/ɡrændˈniːsɪz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of grandniece; multiple female children of one's nieces or nephews.

Etymology

The plural of grandniece, formed by adding -s (with niece taking the regular plural nieces). This follows the standard English pattern for compound kinship terms.

Kelly Says

The plural grandnieces shows how English handles family relationships grammatically—we're adding -s to a compound term, which is actually a recent linguistic convention as these relationships gained names!
