Godparent in Irish is; Cara as Críost (often shortened to Cara's Críost)
Literally it means Friend from Christ
Godmother: Máthair bhaistí
Godfather: Athair bhaistí
Godchild: Leanbh baistí
This form is not used for godparent
Baistí from Baist; To baptise, so the literal translation of Máthair Bhaistí is Baptismal mother

Irish Gaelic:
godfather= athair baisti (accent over final "i" in baisti) [pronounced- AH- heer BAH stee)
godmother= mathair baisti (accents over first "a" in mathair, over final "i" in baisti) [pronounced: MAH heer BAH stee]
Capitalized syllables get the stress.
