-> famigliare, familiare adjective and noun meanings:
- domestic, familial (a.) (e.g. un ambiente familiare = a familial environment)
- family, good for a family (a.) (e.g. una confezione familiare = a family size pack)
- familiar, well-acquainted (a.) (e.g. una faccia famigliare = a familiar face)
- informal, friendly (a.) (e.g. un ristorante famigliare = an informal restaurant)
- station wagon car (n.)
- relative, family member (n.) (e.g. un mio famigliare = one of my relatives)
-> familiare originates (and is used more often) from the Latin familiarem ; famigliare originates from the word “famiglia” and is considered more popular: the versions of these kinds of words (there are more that you can use in two different ways) that originate from Latin, are considered more “erudite” and are the ones that are usually preferred. Neither of them is wrong btw (so you can use famigliare as well anyway).
[it’s so sad that some of these nouns -half-bro/sis, step-parent, stepchild,…- have the negative acception whithin them, as in fairytales]
