    An aunt is a person who is the sister of a parent.

    Aunts are second-degree and share 25% genetic


    overlap when they are the full sister of one of the biological parents. Known alternate terms include
    Auntie or Aunty. A half-aunt is a half-sister of a parent and is a third-degree relative with 12.5%
    genetic overlap. An aunt-in-law is a wife of one's uncle, direct genetic overlap will typically be 0%, as
    this person entered the family through marriage and typically is not a blood relative. An aunt-in-law
    can also be an aunt of one's spouse.
    The male counterpart of an aunt is an uncle, and the reciprocal relationship is that of a nephew or
    niece.
    A great-aunt[1][2]/grandaunt[3] (sometimes written grand-aunt[4]) is the sister of one's grandparent.
