Nepot

A fairly logical candidate to be the gender-neutral form of niece or nephew considering how it is familiar through "nepotism" or "nepoticide", which means the killing one's nephew (or niece).

Derived from *nepote*, the ablative form of "nepōs" which in Latin is a general term for a younger relative.

I have a total of five nepots from my two siblings.
