százak

Százak is a Hungarian term that translates to "hundreds" or "of the hundreds." It is primarily used in the context of historical and genealogical research, particularly when referring to families or individuals who were part of the "század" or "company" in military or paramilitary formations. This often relates to historical Hungarian military units, such as those from the Austro-Hungarian Empire or earlier periods. When used in genealogy, it can indicate ancestors who served in such units, providing a specific historical context for their lives and contributions.

The term is also encountered in discussions of Hungarian nobility and land ownership, where "századok" could refer to groups of landowners or historical administrative units. Understanding the usage of "százak" requires knowledge of Hungarian history, military organization, and social structures. It is not a commonly used term in everyday modern Hungarian but retains significance within specialized fields of study. Its precise meaning can vary depending on the specific historical period and the context in which it is applied.
