grandpapa
Father's father, informally
Grandpapa is an old-fashioned or affectionate term for grandfather.
It carries a formal, somewhat aristocratic flavor compared to grandpa or granddad: Grandpapa used to take us fishing every summer.
The word appears more often in British English and in historical fiction than in contemporary American speech.
