In Czech, baba primarily means "grandmother" or "old woman," used affectionately or sometimes as a slightly unflattering nickname, and can also refer to a "midwife" or, colloquially, a "bombshell," but a baby is miminko (not baba), though some related terms like babka (little grandma, mushroom) exist.
Baba ("father, grandfather, wise old man, sir") is a Persian honorific term, used in several West Asian, South Asian, Balkan and African cultures. It is used as a mark of respect to refer to Hindu ascetics (sannyasis) and Sikh gurus, as a suffix or prefix to their names, e.g. Sai Baba of Shirdi, Baba Ramdev, etc.
Both mean the same, baba in slovak means a girl/woman (affectionate, friendly word for a girl/woman). Baba with the meaning grandmother is only used this way in some Slovak dialects, but it's mostly used as a slang for girl/woman nowadays and grandmother is babka, babička, starká or stará mama.
In all Slavic languages, the basic meaning of “Baba” is “grandmother, old woman.”
Greek, Latin, Czech, Sanskrit, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Welsh, Yiddish, and Filipino all have a version of the word tata, or sometimes tad, or tatti.
The old Slavic root for grandma is baba. You can call your grandma babej or babi, which is a diminutive form of the word and probably the most affectionate name you can use for your favourite grandma.
The Polish word baba and its diminutive, babka, mean either 'grandmother' or 'old woman' (or even just 'woman', in some contexts).
Babka relates to the Ukrainian word baba, meaning "old woman" or grandmother".
Granny: Quintessentially grandmother-like, this is an old favorite; Granna is a nice slant. Lolli: For the whimsical grandma who is extra sweet, this contemporary grandmother name is just about the cutest. Memaw: Typically used by Southern US families, it's a charming and cozy grandma name to embrace.
Who Are the Slavs? The Slovaks belong to a wider group of people known collectively as the Slavs. To this group belong also Russians, Poles, Ruthenians, Czechs, Croats, Serbs, Slovenes, Ukrainians, Bulgars, and Macedonians.

Czech etymologists believe the Czech greeting “ahoj” comes from English seafarers using “hoy” or “ahoy” in the 18th century. The Czech “čau” comes from the Italian greeting or farewell of “ciao.” Use of the term experienced a boom after the Italian film “Wide Blue Road” was shown in Czechoslovakia in the late 1950s.
