Answer

There's no distinction in English. You can either add "elder" or "younger"/"little" to the word to indicate who you're talking about. So for example: My elder brother （哥哥） was fighting with my younger sister （妹妹）.

哥哥 = elder brother
弟弟 = younger brother / little brother
姐姐 = elder sister
妹妹 = younger sister / little sister

Answer

older brother is used more often in US.
