Not the mama (English/Georgian)
If you go to Georgia, you might be surprised to hear kids calling their dads mama. In Georgian, mama means father. Mother, on the other hand, is deda.

That's funny. In Bulgarian, the word diado, which is the newer version of the archaic word deda, means grandfather or simply an older gentlemen.
Also, in Georgia some would call grandfather - Papa.
Bulgarain deda is rather Slavic, i suppose. Same in Russian - ded, dedushka, deda all mean grandfather.
