Never heard of grand aunts or uncles but probably because it's not used often around me or so rarely that I don't recall it. I use great though.

In my favourite game that was highly inspired by works of H.P. Lovecraft there's a piece of script that has been stuck in my mind: "Your trivial experiments are of no concern to me. All energies must be directed at completing the translation of the tablets. The work of my great-grandfather must be finished! Take your worthless body back to shore... you are of no further use to the Order". But as for, double "great-great" would sound great, wouldn't it? |

In portuguese there are only one word for great and grand: grande. But for parents, and family in general we use avô for grandfather and avó para greatmother. I believe that avô and avó ressembles tupi-guarani, who is a language of the majority of tribes in Brazil before colonisation.
