Everyone has a maximum of four genetic grandparents, eight genetic great-grandparents, sixteen genetic great-great-grandparents, etc. Sometimes these numbers are lower and in the case of having only two or three grandparents sibling or half-sibling incest would be involved. In cases where the parents are unwilling or unable to provide adequate care for their children, grandparents often take on the role of primary caregivers. In traditional cultures, grandparents often had a direct and clear role in relation to the care and nurture of children. One can also be a step-grandparent. A step-grandparent can be your parent's stepparent or your stepparent's parent. A stepparent's stepparent is called a step-step-grandparent, etc.citation needed The various words for grandparents can also be used to refer to any elderly person, especially the terms gramps, granny, grandfather, and grandmother.

In writing, grandfather and grandmother are most common. In speech, grandpa and grandma are most common in the US, where grandfather/-mother is very rare when referring to a grandparent in person. In Britain nan, nanny and other variations are often used for grandmother in both writing and speech.

Another common solution is to call grandparents by their first names Grandpa George, Grandma Anne, etc. or by their family names Grandpa Jones, Grandma Smith. In America where most families are of mixed ethnicity, many families call one set of grandparents by their ethnic names i.e., Hispanic grandparents might be called Abuelo and Abuela, French grandparents might be called Pépère and Mémère, or Dutch and German grandparents might be called Opa and Oma.

Thus, one's father's father's father is a great-grandfather. The same applies to one's great-grandparent's parents great-great-grandparents. History of the term The use of the prefix grand- dates from the early 13th century, from Anglo-French graund. The term was used as a translation of Latin magnus.1 The prefix great- represents a direct translation of magnus to English.2 In Old English, the prefixes ealde- old and ieldra- elder were used ealdefæder/-mÅ?dor and ieldrafæder/-mÅ?dor.
