Nana, Ouma, Grammy, Mia, Vomma, Baba, Grandma, Lola, Naani, Nannina, Oma, Babo, Mia, Grann, - the names are many.

What a grandma wants to be called is diverse as can be, it all depends on where the woman is at that point in her life.

Abuela - means grandma in Spanish. 

Nonna – is for Italian grandmothers.

Bubbe -Yiddish

Bedstemoder is Danish, meaning grandmother.

Ouma - Afrikaans origin

Meme – this is French for grandmother, my grandsons call their grandmother Meme.

Vomma – Latvian – my granddaughter calls her grandmother Vomma

TuTu – Hawaiian

And the list could go on for pages and pages.
