The Aiel know his father Janduin, and that his mother was a non-Aiel Maiden who called herself Shaiel. Rand himself figured out that Shaiel was Tigraine Mantear and was concerned whether that made him a cousin to Elayne. But has anyone else put this together?

2Didn't one of the Andoran noblewomen clarify for Rand that Elayne being his "cousin" didn't mean what he thought it did?– rsegalCommented Oct 23, 2012 at 3:06

1@rsegal: I believe that was just a more general statement that Andoran nobles habitually overstate their relations to the first Queen and will thus effectively claim to be all "cousins" when it's really many times removed.– Michael BorgwardtCommented Oct 23, 2012 at 12:17

We haven't explicitly seen that anyone else has figured this out. Gitara Moroso knew in advance - she sent Tigraine to the Waste so that the Dragon could be reborn. I wouldn't be surprised if Moiraine knew this, but isn't any actual evidence for that.
