Best Answer

No, the name mimma is not strictly an Italian reference to "grandmother".

Specifically, the word is a feminine noun in its singular form. It serves as an abbreviated form or as a nickname. Most commonly, it will be found as a Tuscan shortening of bambina ("female child, girl") or as a nickname for Beniamina ("Benjamine"), Domenica, Emilia ("Emily"), Guglielmina("Wilhelmina") or Massimiliana ("Maximiliana").

The pronunciation will be "MEEM-ma" in Italian.
