Vevjeként

Vevjeként is a term that appears in some historical and genealogical contexts, particularly within the Hungarian language. It generally refers to a son-in-law, specifically the husband of one's daughter. The term is derived from the Hungarian word "veje" meaning son-in-law, with the addition of the "-ként" suffix, which often denotes a role or capacity.

While the primary meaning is straightforward, the use of "vevjeként" can sometimes appear in older documents or personal records. Its significance lies in understanding family relationships and lineage within historical Hungarian societies. It helps to clearly identify the marital connection between a father-in-law or mother-in-law and their daughter's spouse.

The term itself is not commonly used in modern everyday Hungarian, where simpler terms like "vej" are preferred. However, encountering "vevjeként" in historical texts or genealogical research can provide valuable insight into the structure and terminology of past family networks. Its usage signifies a formal or descriptive reference to the role of a son-in-law within a family unit.
