SYSTEMATIC FEATURES OF ANTROPONYMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

This article examines the systematic features of anthroponyms (personal names) in English and Uzbek from a comparative linguistic perspective. It analyzes how naming systems in both languages are organized and how they reflect cultural values, social structure, and historical development. The study outlines the main components of the anthroponymic system—given names, surnames, patronymics/matronymics, and additional name elements such as nicknames and honorific forms—and describes their functions in identification, kinship marking, and social positioning.
