Elanor has it right:

Quote:
Eowyn is of course a girl, and therefore Theoden's neice. Eomund was Theoden's brother-in-law: he was married to Theoden's sister Theodwyn, and Eomer and Eowyn were their children.
That is why Theoden calls Eomer "Sister-Son": in other words, Eomer the son of my sister Theodwyn.
