Gujarati/Family relations

Gujarati/Family relations - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
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 Maa
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 (e.g. Mayuri Didi)
Sister's Husband: Banevi or Jijaji (e.g. mahesh Jijaji)
Father's Younger Brother: Kaka (e.g. Rajesh Kaka)
Father's Younger Brother's Wife: Kaki (e.g. Komal Kaki)
Father's Older Brother: Kaka(e.g. Jiten Kaka)
Father's Older Brother's Wife: Kaki (e.g. Bhavna Kaki)
Father's Oldest Brother: Mota Kaka(e.g. Jiten Kaka)
Father's Oldest Brother's Wife: Moti Kaki (e.g. Bhavna Kaki)
Father's Sister: Foi,Fui (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: Masi (e.g. Sneha Masi)
Mother's Sister's Husband: Masa (e.g. Gopal Masa)
Paternal Grandfather: Dada
Paternal Grandmother: Dadi or Ba
Maternal Grandfather: Nana
Maternal Grandmother: Nani
Wife's Sister: Saali
Wife's Brother: Saalo
Wife's Sisters husband: Saadhoo bhai
Wife's Brothers wife: Saadhotri
Cousins are considered to be "brother" or "sister".
Son: Babo, Beto
Daughter: Baby, Beti
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.
