Nibling
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
A nibling is the offspring of one's sibling, i.e., a nephew or niece. It is a neologism first used in 1951 to refer to a niece or a nephew,[1] or, in other words, the child of one's sibling. The term is gender-neutral and provides convenience for referring to a mixed group of nieces and nephews. "I bought my niblings a board game for Christmas."[2]
