A quien se le llama tata? We had an old aunt in Spain and used to call her "la tata" with accent on the last "a"

Could it be grandma?

maybe short form for tatarabuela, which means great-great-grandmother, but sometimes it´s also used in reference to any old relative.

Normally it means "nanny", and if you only write an accent on the last "a" if that vowel is stressed (it is not).
