Túlmagaít

Túlmagaít is a term that can refer to a number of things, most commonly a plant and a surname. The plant, Túlmagaít (scientific name *Silene latifolia*), is also known as the white campion. It is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. Native to Europe and Western Asia, it has been introduced to many other parts of the world. The plant is characterized by its white flowers, which open in the evening and close in the morning. It typically grows in meadows, fields, and on roadsides. The binomial name *latifolia* means "broad-leaved" in Latin, referring to the plant's leaves. Túlmagaít is a biennial or short-lived perennial, often growing up to a meter in height.

The surname Túlmagaít is of Hungarian origin. While the exact etymology is debated, it is believed to be derived from the Hungarian word "túl" meaning "beyond" or "over" and "mag" meaning "seed" or "kernel." It is possible that the name originally referred to someone who lived beyond a certain landmark or who dealt with seeds in some capacity. Like many surnames, it would have likely been adopted by families over time to identify their lineage. The distribution of the surname is primarily concentrated in Hungary and among Hungarian diaspora communities.
