Question

Does the word "bub" mean baby or brother ?

Answer 1

Bub~ brother.  It's a baby name for your brother.  

It is actually short for "bubby" which just means "little boy"

Little boy isn't a baby. It could probably go both ways, though.

I've heard my dad call my little brother this when we speak in English.  My brother is 12, so he's clearly not a baby.

for southern  bub is a term we use for brother  but bub bub  with two bubs can stand for bottle
