Depends on where you're from. In some places it means Dad.
If you're in the Southern United States it means Grandpa.
My girls call my dad Papa John.

I thought that everyone knew what Papa meant.

Potato in Spanish. It's part of a game I teach kids when they are learning Spanish "papa caliente" which is of course hot potato in English.
For some reason they like that game too.

"father," 1681, from Fr. papa, from L. papa, originally a child's word, cf. Gk. pappa (voc.) "o father," pappas "father," pappos "grandfather." The native word is daddy; first use of papa was in courtly speech, as a continental affectation, not used by common folk until late 18c.

It is a heartfelt way of refering to your Dad! I believe it is a throw back from the Little Italy section of NYC.
