    In Gujarati culture:

    These are the "titles" for family members. With the exception of Father, Mother, and Grandparents (who are called by the title only), all of these titles are added after the name of the person.

    Father: Papa or Bapuji
    Mother: Ba, Mummy or Maamajee
    Brother (also male cousins): Bhai (e.g. Haresh Bhai)
    Brother's Wife: Bhabhi (e.g. Komal Bhabhi)
    Sister (also female cousins): Ben (e.g. Mayuri Ben)
    Older Sister: Didi . Ben (e.g. Mayuri Didi)
    Sister's Husband: Banevi or Jijaji (e.g. Kunal Jijaji)
    Father's Younger Brother: Kaka (e.g. Rajesh Nana or Rajesh Kaka)
    Father's Younger Brother's Wife: Kaki (e.g. Komal Nani or Komal Kaki)
    Father's Oldest Brother: Mota Kaka or Bapa (e.g. Jiten Kaka)
    Father's Oldest Brother's Wife: Moti Kaki or Moti ba (e.g. Purva Kaki)
    Father's Sister: Foi, Fui, Faiba (also spelled Foy) (e.g. Komal Foi)
    Father's Sister's Husband: Fua (e.g. Akshay Fua)
    Mother's Brother: Mama (e.g. Siddarth Mama)
    Mother's Brother's Wife: Mami (e.g. Komal Mami)
    Mother's Sister: Massi (e.g. Sneha Massi)
    Mother's Sister's Husband: Massa (e.g. Gopal Massa)
    Paternal Grandfather: Dada or Bapuji
    Paternal Grandmother: Baa
    Maternal Grandfather: Nanabapa (some parts of Gujarat also use Nana).
    Maternal Grandmother: Nanima or Ba
    Wife's Sister: Saali
    Wife's Brother: Saalo
    Wife's Sisters husband: Saadhoo bhai
    Wife's Brothers wife: Saadhotri (e.g. Bhumika Saadhotri)


    Cousins are considered to be "brother" or "sister".
    Son: Babo, Beto, Dikro
    Daughter: Baby, Beti, Dikri
    If an uncle or aunt is a generation above usual (a "great uncle" or "great aunt"), a "mota" (big) is usually added to the title, and the name is dropped. So Maternal Grandmother's Brother is "Mota Mama" (Big Uncle).

    Names are usually followed by titles, as they have listed above. This is different from the English, where we would say "Uncle John".

    It is not unusual for this to vary from family to family, but these are the generally accepted titles.

    What a great forum! I should have found it much sooner. I start here.

    Persian and a south western dialect of Persian (my family's):

    Father = Baba, Pedar / Bua
    Mother = Madar, Maman / Mar, Daya
    Daughter = Dokhtar
    Son = Pesar / Kuak
    Sister = Khahar / Khar
    Brother = Baradar / Berar

    Aunt = Amme
    Uncle = Amu, Dayi / Khalu, Dayi
    Grandfather = Baba(Pedar) bozorg
    Grandmother = Madarbozorg
    Grandchild= Nawe

    Bride = Aroos
    Groom = Damad / Dooma

    Husband = Shohar / Mera
    Wife = Zan / Zoona

    The rest (cousin, nephew etc.) are mixture of a few words, not very interesting.
