Also means
daughter
Usage Note
Fille means both girl and daughter, so context decides — ma fille is my daughter, while une jeune fille is a young girl. Add petite and petite-fille becomes granddaughter, while the once-neutral fille de joie is an old euphemism best left in history books.
Examples
"Leur fille a cinq ans."
Natural Translation
Their daughter is five.
