Üüvere is a village in Saaremaa Parish, Saare County in western Estonia.
==Name== Üüvere was attested in historical sources as Irefer, Hierefer, and Hirfer in 1645 and Hiafer in 1798. The name is a compound; the first part is believed to derive from a personal name (the forms Hyre and Hyere are attested in names). The ending -vere is found in settlement names, and so a possible meaning is 'Hyre's settlement'. The etymology of -vere is uncertain, although various theories have been proposed.
