Are you're referring to what a grandmother is called in Yiddish (not Hebrew) - Bubbeh - which in American English is often pronounced "bubbie"? The origin of the word is probably old Russian. In modern Russian a grandmother is called "babushka", which in America refers to a kerchief worn on the head, probably because that's what Russian peasant women used to (and for all I know still do) wear.

Bube has no meaning in Hebrew, but it looks like it's possibly a Yiddish word.
