My uncle just informed me that he will be a grandpa soon. He said his wife wants to be called, "Brah." Is that Gaelic for Grandmother? If not, what does it mean? Thanks.

Are you sure that's how it's spelled? Phonetically it could be a couple of things...
brą - fairy queen
brath - knowledge
brąth - judgement (I hope that's not it, lol)
brąth - double cross (hope that's not it either)
nothin for brah though, maybe it's irish or manx?

Lynn, bingo is probably correct. My user name Seanair is Scots gaelic for grandfather, literally "old father". I have not found there to be any diminutive form .
There are slight differences in pronounciation across Scotland.
If you find your answer, please post it.

Seanamhair is such a pretty word. I speak gaelic to an extent---mainly for the insults and its poetical uses. It is beautiful in poetry. I wrote a poem called "Ta me bron",---'I am sorrow'. The words flow easily and are musical in their very sound.Thanatos//
