Abstract

This article analyzes the structural, semantic and cultural aspects of anthroponyms in the English and Uzbek languages. Anthroponyms, being a key element of language and culture, reflect semantic and structural features, as well as cultural traditions of society. The article pays special attention to morphological components, such as prefixes and suffixes, which play an important role in the formation of personal names. The etymology and historical development of anthroponyms is also examined, allowing for a deeper understanding of their meaning and functions in various cultural contexts. This study helps identify both commonalities and unique differences in the use of anthroponyms, contributing to a better understanding of cultural dynamics and linguistic evolution.
