younger brothers
Later-born male siblings
Younger brothers are male siblings born after another child in the same family.
The term emphasizes birth order rather than current age—a man of sixty with a brother of sixty-five remains the younger brother.
In many cultures, younger brothers historically inherited less than firstborn sons, though modern inheritance laws have largely eliminated such distinctions.
My younger brother still tries to copy everything I do.
