TÃa – Spanish
Tia – Portuguese (In Spanish it has an accent on the “i” but not in Portuguese)
Tante – French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish (pronounced differently in French but sounds similar in the other 4 languages)
Faster, moster, tant – Swedish (yes, it has 3 words for it)
Zia – Italian
Îεία – (pronounced “thia) – Greek
Ciocia – Polish
Tetka – Serbian
Hallë – also – teze - Albanian
Nagynéni (pronounced “noj-nay-nee) – Hungarian
ТеÑÑ (pronounced tyaw-tya) – Russian
Izeba – Basque
Some languages have a different word for aunt depending on whether you mean your father’s sister or your mother’s sister:
Turkish: hala – mother’s sister
Teyze – father’s sister
Indian languages make the same distinction too.

In response to an earlier answer, it is not bah-san in Japanese. That means old lady in a very rude way. it is obasan or oba.

It's "Nandhaa" in Sinhala (spell "an" in the middle as normal 'an' what you use to say 'an apple')
And in Tamil it is "Maami"

In French, it's "tante" formally and "tatie" less formally as in auntie
