Only Jews have a word for Mechutonim. (I speak 5 languages but correct me if I am wrong.)
The rest of the world doesn’t see mechutonim as any relationship whatsoever.
It is said in the name of the Baal Shem Tov that in Yenne Velt you sit not with your children or your ancestors but davka with your Mechutonim.
(For some, this is Gan Eden.
For others, this is Gehennom.)
