nan · grandma

n/næn/

You can picture the short, soft name a small child says to the grandmother standing in the kitchen. It is not a title, it is a name in the house — which is why it sounds close and warm, and why it almost never turns up in a form or an essay.

可以想成一個小孩對著廚房裡的奶奶叫的那個又短又軟的稱呼。它不是頭銜，而是家裡人用的名字——所以聽起來親近、有溫度，也因此幾乎不會出現在表格或作文裡。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records nan as coming from Nan, a pet form of the once very common names Anne and Agnes, and as a clipping of the earlier nana, itself from nanny.

來源資料記載 nan 來自人名 Nan，那是以前很常見的女生名字 Anne 和 Agnes 的暱稱；nan 同時也是更早的 nana 縮短來的，而 nana 又來自 nanny。這正好解釋了為什麼它聽起來像名字而不像稱謂。

nan · naan bread

n/nɑːn/

A different word that happens to look the same: the warm, soft, flat bread that comes to the table in a basket with Indian food, made to be torn and shared rather than cut.

這是另一個剛好長得一樣的字：跟印度菜一起端上桌、放在籃子裡的那種溫熱、柔軟的扁餅。它是設計來用手撕、大家一起分的，不是拿刀叉切的。
