From the very beginning, there were grandparents and great-grandmothers. The use of the prefix "grand" dates back to the early 13th century. The word is a variant of the French word graund. This is a translation of the latin term magnus. In Old English, the terms ealde and ieldra were used interchangeably. The term for grandmother also differs from country to country. She is the most common term used in many countries such as the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. In other countries, especially Canada, they use variations of the term such as Nan, Nana, Gran and Granny. In India, she is called Nana and Nani. One's grandmother is called Par-nana. There are many other names for her depending on the person and what both parties are comfortable with. In North America, many people call their grandmother by their ethnic name. For example, grandmothers in France are called mamie. Some languages ​​have more specific kinship terms than English to distinguish between paternal and paternal grandparents. For example, in Sweedish there is no word for grandmother, but most use the term mormor to refer to their grandmother. Whatever term you use, this day is the anniversary of your grandmother or the grandmothers in your life.
