AEE 2228: Nana, Mimi, or Grandma? The Evolution of Grandparent Names

The names we use for grandparents have evolved over time and vary widely across cultures and even within families. Here's a brief look at the evolution and cultural variations of grandparent names: ### Historical Context: 1. **Traditional Names:** - **Grandfather:** Commonly referred to as "Grandpa," "Grandfather," or in more formal settings, "Sir." - **Grandmother:** Often called "Grandma," "Grandmother," or "Madam" in formal settings. 2. **Paternal vs. Maternal:** - In some cultures, there is a distinction between the father's parents and the mother's parents, leading to different names. For example, in Spanish-speaking cultures, "abuelo" and "abuela" for paternal grandparents, and "avo" and "avó" for maternal grandparents.
