When it’s brother’s day so we can call our brothers and tell them how much we love them and how weird they are as we always do-:) The word ‘Brother’ stems from German word ‘Brothar’ which itself comes from European root ‘Bhrater’ and also some people claim it to be taken from ancient Hindi word ‘Bhrata’ which means Brother.
