Újulás

Újulás is a Hungarian noun meaning revival or renewal. It denotes the process or result of becoming fresh, lively, or restored, and can refer to secular or religious renewal, personal growth, or cultural reanimation. The word is formed from the adjective új, meaning new, with the suffix -ulás, and is related to the verb újul, “to become new again.” A closely related term is újjászületés, “rebirth.”

In secular usage, újulás is combined with adjectives to describe revivals, for example gazdasági újjáéledés (economic revival) or kulturális újjulás (cultural renewal). In historical contexts it can refer to broader renewal movements within a nation or society.

In religious contexts, újulás commonly denotes spiritual revival—a renewed religious interest, fervor, or participation within a church or community. It may be associated with revival meetings, conversion, or reaffirmation of faith, depending on tradition.

Because it is a general term, újulás appears across disciplines and periods to denote a return to vitality after decline or stagnation, whether in economy, culture, religion, or social life.
