non-unique

Shared by others

Non-unique describes something that is not one of a kind—it has duplicates, matches, or equivalents elsewhere.

In databases and programming, non-unique values appear more than once: The query returned non-unique results.

More broadly, anything ordinary or common rather than singular: Her situation was non-unique among recent graduates.
