This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical, linguocultural, and semantic dimensions of the Uzbek anthroponymic system. It examines the multilayered structure of personal names shaped by ancient Turkic, Persian–Tajik, and Arabic traditions, emphasizing the influence of sociocultural factors, religious values, and intercultural interaction on name formation. Utilizing linguocultural, comparative-historical, semantic, and sociolinguistic methodologies, the research reveals that anthroponyms function as symbolic units that preserve cultural memory, national mentality, social values, and historical identity.
