GODDAME: (Parish-register of Charlton, co. Kent.) Probably ' good-dame,' a mother-in-law; so ' good-brother,' in some dialects, signifies brother-in-law; and there are several analogies in the French language: as beaupere,' step-father; ' belle-mere,' mother-in-law. Perhaps it may be synonymous with godmother, which is found in the H.R., under the orthography of Godmoder, and borne by an individual named William, proving that at that time it had passed into a transmissible or family name.
