nanna
British term, grandmother
Nanna is an informal word for grandmother, used especially by children as a term of address or affection.
Common in British and Australian English, it's one of several diminutive forms alongside nana, nan, and granny: I'm going to visit my nanna this weekend.
The spelling with double-n distinguishes it slightly from nana, though both are used interchangeably.
