Baptisms and Christenings are sacred moments in a child's spiritual life. Through families for generations, the traditions include selecting godparents to help guide their children.

In America, we don't typically have unique names for godmothers, but we thought this could be fun to explore. Would you like a distinct name that only your godchild calls you? We came up with some fun options for you to consider. Some of these words mean godmother in different languages, while others are fantastic ways to express love and the connection between godparent and child.
