We do not really even know Jesus' paternal grandfather. According to Matthew, Jesus' paternal grandfather was Jacob, but Luke says that his paternal grandfather was Heli. Records of female ancestors were not normally kept in ancient times, so there is little chance of knowing the name of his grandmother.

A:The Bible only mentions the paternal grandfather of Jesus - either Jacob (Matthew's Gospel) or Heli (Luke's Gospel), but does not mention his grandmother on either side. Roman Catholics believe that his maternal grandmother, Mary's mother, was St Anne, but there are no records of her in the New Testament, and no reliable historical documents that confirm her existence. Anne is likely to be a 2nd or 3rd century invention as she is only mentioned in the 'Protoevangelium of James' which is a rather unreliable, dubious and apocryphal text dismissed by most historians as fictional.

Scripture does not mention Jesus' grandmother, paternal or maternal. However, in both Christian and Islamic tradition, Mary's mother was named Anne or Hannah, depending on the culture. In the Catholic religion, she is also a Patron Saint.
