In this article, we examine lexical challenges of proper names in translating Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels between Uzbek and English languages. It demonstrates how language differs across changes in proper names, and how these variations contribute to language forming its unique identity. Twilight as a case study, the research investigates strategies for balancing linguistic fidelity. The findings reveal that English significantly influences modern Uzbek vocabulary, particularly in the fantasy genre, and offer broader insights into the dynamics of literary translation in a globalized world.
