Yes, the Greek term for godparents is "κουμπάροι" (kumbároi) for males and "κουμπάρες" (kumbáres) for females. The word is derived from the relationship established during the baptism of a child, where the godparent takes on a significant role in the child's spiritual upbringing.

It is not a requirement, but many people do include the names of the godparents on their child's Christening invitations. In some cases, the godparents are given the honor of extending the invitation to the Christening or Baptism ceremony, and so their names will subsequently be on the invitations. In other cases, the parents are the inviters and will honor the godparents by directly naming them on the invites.
