Brothers

Correction: Most likely this correct or at least in singular form, with the Plural form being "Adelphos" (Interesting Fact: Philadelphia is a latinization of the Greek phrase "Philos Adelphos" which means "Brotherly Love" or more literally "Love Brothers").

Though there is some theories that state that Adelphi comes from the word "Delphi", the name of a major Greek City. Delphi itself was most likely a variation of "Delphis" the Greek word for Dolphin.

***

The word Adelphi (a + delphi) literally means "of the same womb." Dolphin and delphi are related in the sense that dolphin is the "womb fish," being a mammal.
