Need a grandmother name?
| | |
Posted by debbiemc77 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 8, 07 at 17:18
| My daughter is 5 and I lost my Mother 2 years ago. My father has remarried and I call her by her name, but I think it would be nice for my daughter to give her a nickname. She is Cuban and I was hoping someone could let me know what Cubans call their grandmothers.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate this.
Thanks

| Cuba was once a Spanish colony, so the name for grandmother is abuela. If she is petite, you could have her called abuelita, little grandmother. We lived in Germany a long time, so our grandsons call us Oma and Opa. Gives all the alternatives to the other grandparents. |

| I like the Spanish word Abuela. Our family used Grandma Judy, Granny Judy, or Grandmother Judy. There were 3 grandmothers in my extended family and that helped to keep them straight. |
