How many names do you know of for Grandmother?

I'm not very helpful here as I referred to mine as...Grandmother. There seems to be hundreds of common names for them however.

Gran, granny, nan, nana, me mar and of course Baboushka!

I called mine Grandmother. Everyone called my great grandmother "mama".

Living in Texas, I hear "Abuela" quite often.

Nonna in Italian I think.

In my family we had one granny and one grandmummy. I’ve never heard anyone else use the latter.

"Oma" or colloquial derivatives of it may crop in areas where there were originally a lot of German language settlers.

The "nana" related stuff is usually what I encounter.

I cited that but only because I know BB TV Series. Do they say that in the south? It's kind of sweet

I still have such lovely memories of her. I never knew dad's side. Gran and grandad are special.
Like mum and dad but without the discipline!

Like grandmother or grand-mère, in fact.

I've heard that mentioned and I grew up in the South but no one I personally know used it.
