Name Origin
The term 'Grandma' is a common affectionate term for grandmother in English-speaking countries, originating from the combination of 'grand' (meaning large or great) and 'ma' (mother). It is used as a familial term rather than a personal name, but in some contexts, it can be used as a nickname or informal given name.
