The Greek word for brotherly love or close friendship is phileō love. The name for the city of Philidelphia is derived from this word.

When Jesus asked Peter "Do you love me?" the word he used in Greek was agape love. Peter answered "Lord, thou knowest that I love thee." In Greek, Peter used phileō in his reply.[1]
Philos (fy-loss) is one of four Greek words translated into English as "love." The other three are "Agape" (ag-uh-pay) and "storge" (stor-gay) and "eros" (eh-ross).
