üveges

Üveges is a Hungarian term that functions as both an adjective and a surname. As an adjective, üveges means "glazed," "glass-covered," or "made of glass," and it is derived from üveg, the Hungarian word for glass, with the suffix -es. It is used to describe objects or spaces that incorporate glass elements, such as windows, partitions, or display surfaces.

In everyday usage, üveges commonly appears in architectural and retail contexts. Examples include expressions like üveges ablak (glass window), üveges kirakat (glass-front storefront), and üveges fal (glass wall). The term conveys transparency or the presence of glass as a primary material in the described item or space.

As a surname, Üveges is found in Hungary and among Hungarian communities abroad. Surnames formed from materials or trades, such as glass, are a common pattern in Hungarian onomastics, and Üveges may historically have indicated an association with glassmaking or glass trades. Contemporary bearers of the surname, however, may have no direct link to that occupation.

The word is predominantly used in Hungarian-language contexts. In non-Hungarian texts, it may be transliterated as Üveges or rendered as Uveges without diacritics, depending on the orthographic conventions of the language in which it appears.
