A Godparent is a person who is legally intrusted to look after a child in the case that both his legal parents should die.

A male Godparent is a Godfather and a female Godparent is a Godmother.

A Godparent may be related to the child, such as an uncle or an aunt, or may simply be a friend of the family.
