There is also a Brother Island in El Nido, Palawan in the Philippines.

Brother Isle (from the Old Norse breidare øy meaning broad beach island) is a small, uninhabited island in Shetland, Scotland. It lies between the islands of Yell and Shetland Mainland. At only 40ha in size and surrounded by tidal rips which make landing difficult, it would seem unlikely that the island has ever been inhabited. However, Brother Isle was inhabited until the 1820s, latterly by brothers with the surname Tulloch. This led to the mistaken assumpation that the island's name referred to them.
