Bugyi is a village in Pest County, Hungary. It is noted for its unusual name, meaning "panties" in Hungarian. ==Etymology== Contrary to popular belief, the place name has no etymological connection to the contemporary Hungarian word "bugyi", meaning panties, which is instead derived from "bugyogó", meaning baggy underwear. The name of the town first appeared in official documents as Latin “Bevd” in 1321 of a form Budymatheusfelde (translation: Matthew Bugy land). It is named from the personal names starting with "Bud" (from the verb "to be") of the original Slavic settlers. Examples include: Budweis (to be wise), Budik (awaken), Budimir (peaceful). The -i suffix in Hungarian "Bugy-i" denotes possession, meaning "of Bud". ==History== The township was fused from several medieval villages (Bugy, Vány, Ráda, Ürbo). The region's natural and economic development was defined by the Danube's ancient riverbank, which was drained in the 1920s. As a result of its various soil types and microclimate, the region is especially well suited for agricultural production; hence, its important role in providing the capital with fresh produce. The town neighbors an area of gravel mines, so its geography is spackled with mining lakes. ==External links== in Hungarian
