What relation is a second cousin?

The relationship between two second cousins is that they are second cousins. That means that one of the parents of one was the first cousin of one of the parents of the other; and that one grandparent of one was the sibling of the grandparent of the other.

You both have a common Great Grandparent

Another way to look at the second cousin relationship is to recognize that your second cousin is the grandchild of the brother or sister of one of your grandparents.
