In Scots, a godbrother; a man who shares the relationship of godparent to the same child, or a spiritual brother.
From Scots gude (god) + brother. A compound following the same pattern as gudefather and gudemother, creating a full set of Scots godkin terminology.
Gudebrother is rarer than gudefather or gudemother—it suggests a whole kinship system of spiritual relations that has nearly disappeared from modern English but was once as common as biological family terms.
