According to Dictionary.com (American Dictionary), Nana is one's grandmother, and Nanna is "The wife of Balder" (Scandinavian Mythology) or "The Sumerian god of the moon: the counterpart of the Akkadian god Sin".
Gran, for instance, was my paternal grandfather, but many people call their grandmothers that. To my cousins (father's brother's children) he was Papa, and their mother's mother was Nanna. How these names or nicknames are used varies from family to family with no general lexical agreement.
Etymonline also notes that nanna is also a Greek word for aunt. Grandma has similar origins. The word mama is a child's form of mother. In languages like German and English, the parents of one's parents have the grand- prefix applied to create their names. The original form of grandma was grandmama (18th century, OED).
