An
avunculocal society is one in which a married couple traditionally lives with the man's mother's eldest brother, which most often occurs in
matrilineal societies. The
anthropological term "avunculocal residence" refers to this convention, which has been identified in about 4% of the world's societies.
This pattern generally occurs when a man obtains his status, his job role, or his privileges from their nearest elder matrilineal male relative. When a woman's son lives near her brother, he's able to more easily learn how he needs to behave in his the matrilineal role he's inherited.
The
Chamorros of the
Mariana Islands and the
Taíno of
Turks and Caicos Islands are examples of societies that have practiced avunculocal residence.
