Best Answer

Well .. they're both called Grandma but based on this

a 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 North America, many families call one set of grandparents by their ethnic names (e.g., Hispanic grandparents might be called abuelo and abuela or "abuelito" and "abuelita"

Someone Suggested to call them Maternal or Paternal Grand-Parents But i dont really suggest that
