CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF UZBEK ANTHROPONYMS AND THEIR STUDY

Abstract

This article Uzbek anthroponyms - the study of personal names provides valuable information about the linguistic, cultural, historical and social structure of Uzbekistan. Uzbek anthroponyms reflect a unique synthesis of Turkish, Persian, Arab, and Russian influences formed as a result of centuries-old historical evolution and socio-political changes. This field studies naming conventions, semantic structures, morphological patterns, and the symbolic meanings behind personal names. Research in this area often includes both synchronic and diachronic analyses, tracing the change in naming traditions over time. Special attention is paid to the role of religion, national identity, socio-cultural values in the formation and use of names. The study of Uzbek anthroponyms contributes not only to onomastics (the study of names), but also to our understanding of Uzbek identity, heritage, and language development.
