An important and often used term in the Greek language.

"This is a Greek term indicating a spiritual relationship akin to family.

A koumbaro (masculine). or koumbari (feminine), is someone with whom a relationship has been sanctified in the eyes of the church, for example, a godparent at a christening, or a best man at a wedding ceremony."

This is partially incorrect. Koubaro is masculine. Koumbara is feminine. Koumbari is plural, to imply both the man and woman or multiple individuals who have the title of either Koumbaro or Koumbara.
