The name "Grammy" comes from the word "gramophone". A gramophone was an early machine that played music on records.
Georg Solti has won 31 Grammy Awards, more than any other person.
The Grammy Awards are given to American musicians. British musicians receive their own awards, called the Brit Awards and Canadian musicians get the Juno Awards.
