Yes some do, also Baka, Nana. My parents from Dalmatia (Dalmacija) Croatia but there were many Serbs Croats and Bosnians there. My husband is from Belgrade Serbia. My parents came in 1955, so new comers as one would say. Sad to say it was once called Jugoslavija (yugoslavia) but then US/NATO entered and destroyed and killed many. Now it is all split, neighbors that once were like family do not know each other, let alone acknowledge that fact. It has been some years back, so getting a little better, I hear. Now UN is starting up again in Kosovo. I truly pray for Peace all over the world. Cheers!
Your mother sounds like my Bubeh.
In Yiddish we'd say "Baruch Hashem!"
In Serbian Baba is grandmother. Close isn't it.
Close enough, my great-grandparents came from Odessa, Kiev and Poland around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. You also use the term, Babushka?
