This article examines a comprehensive investigation of the linguistic features of human names in Uzbek and English languages. Anthroponyms, in contrast to common terminology, convey the speakers' deeper worldview by preserving old cultural layers, social customs, and religious influences. The study highlights the distinct developmental routes and cultural symbolism of the English and Uzbek naming systems by comparing and contrasting their structural, semantic, and sociolinguistic characteristics. The findings show that Uzbek names exhibit obvious meanings and intricate morphological patterns based on agglutinative principles, whereas English names tend to be structurally simple but historically layered reflecting diverse cultural and linguistic influences.
