Abstract

Anthroponyms, as personal names, represent one of the most important components of a nation's linguistic and cultural heritage. In contemporary linguistics, anthroponyms are studied not only as nominative units but also as carriers of cognitive, social, historical, and cultural information. The present article investigates the linguocognitive and linguocultural characteristics of Uzbek and English anthroponyms through a comparative approach. The study focuses on the semantic structure, cultural symbolism, cognitive representation, and social functions of personal names in both linguistic traditions. The research demonstrates that Uzbek anthroponyms are closely connected with family values, religious beliefs, social aspirations, and historical traditions, while English anthroponyms reflect historical development, religious influences, social stratification, and cultural continuity. The article also examines the role of anthroponyms as cultural codes that preserve collective memory and national identity. The findings reveal both universal and culture-specific naming patterns that contribute to the understanding of language, cognition, and culture. The research is based on scholarly literature in onomastics, anthropological linguistics, and linguocultural studies and relies exclusively on documented scientific sources.
