Godson
Ceremonial Origin
The term 'godson' originates from Christian ceremonies where a godparent is chosen for a child.

During the baptism, Mark and Linda were honored to be named as the godson's godparents.
Enduring Connection
'Godson' implies a lifelong commitment and relationship beyond the baptism ceremony.

Even though he's grown up, I still give my godson advice on life's challenges.
Not Legal Status
Being a godson does not grant legal rights or responsibilities, it's more of a spiritual and personal bond.

Though not his father, as his godson’s godfather, I support him as part of the family.
