So you've had a new baby, and everything is so exciting! 

 

There are so many people in your new baby's life that are special, but few will be more important than the child's grandparents. 

 

That got us thinking about what people call grandparents, and while I am a bit of a stickler for tradition, there are so many sweet and unique names for Granny and Grandpa. 

 

Have a look and tell us what you think:

 

 

1. Bubbe and Zayde

We seriously love this cute Jewish translation of “Grandma” and “Grandpa.” Mazel tov!

 

2. Nani and Nana: 

In Hindi, maternal grandparents are referred to as Nani and Nana while paternal grandparents are known as Dadi and Dada.

 

3. Yaya and Pappoús

Pronounced yah-yah and pa-poosch, these awesome names for grandparents come from Greek origins.

 

 

4. Oma and Opa

These German translations for “Grandma” and “Grandpa” are easy to pronounce, which is important for a little one learning to speak. 

 

5. Babcia and Dziadziu

These precious names come from Polish origins and are pronounced bop-cha and ja-jee.

 

6. Mémé and Pépé

While the formal names for grandparents in French are Grandmèr and Grandpère, these shortened versions are very popular and easy for a growing toddler to pronounce.

 

7. Amma and Afi

If you have even a trace of Icelandic lineage, we highly suggest you give these sweet names a try.

 

8. Lola and Lolo

We ADORE the Filipino names for grandparents.
