Semantics is the study of the meaning of words, phrases and sentences. In semantic analysis, there is always an attempt to focus on what the words conventionally mean, rather than on what an individual speaker (like George Carlin) might want them to mean on a particular occasion. Anthroponyms, or personal names, offer a fascinating window into the cultural, historical, and linguistic tapestry of a society. Comparing and contrasting the structural-semantic and cultural features of anthroponyms in English and Uzbek languages reveals intriguing insights into the evolution of naming practices and the values embedded within them.
