Myetta

I am trying to find out what the Spanish word "Myetta" means. I have been told it means the "N" word and also means brown.

As far as I know, Myetta is not a word in Spanish. What context did you hear it in?

It sound most as the name of a bran of some product.

Because I never have heard that in a common talk.

We need more context in the you need to know, because the word alone doesn't make sense.

I've never seen this word, it doesn'r follow word Spanish structures: "y" never is used as a vowel and "tt" is never used in Spanish (the only doubled consonants are "rr" and "ll". And, as far as I know, N doesn't mean brown

Someone called my grandson "her little Myetta"

Hmmm, nieto is grandson. I side with the others that myetta is not Spanish. The other clues (the "N" word and the color) aren't helping us to come up with anything.

Brown can be said a couple of different ways. Two of them start with an 'm', but that's where the similarity ends.

A person of mixed race (especially black and white) is called mulato. Moreno is also used (which is one of the words for brown).

ladybug's word is "mierda", which in English means "shit" and no, it's not used to refer to a black person, unless you have a very sick mind.

That crossed my mind, but I quickly ruled it out based on the other clues we had. To me, the word would have to be a term of endearment (used with "my little").

Wouldn't it be mi pequeña nieta / mi pequeño nieto?

You heard it wrong. The word is mi hijita (although this means my little daughter). Are you sure this was a grandson and not a granddaughter?

It wouldn't be the first time a dear person is given an ugly or offensive name "de cariño"

...but you people may well be right.
