Sweden has it, at least for aunts/uncles, and grandparents (and great grandparents, and great-great-grandparents...).

For aunts its faster/moster (portmanteau of father-sister, mother-sister, roughly). For uncles its farbror/morbror (lit. father-brother, mother-brother).

For grandparents its farfar/morfar (father-father, mother-father) and farmor/mormor (father-mother, mother-mother).

A great grandparent could be e.g. a farfarsfar, or father-fathers-father.
