Abstract:
This article explores the anthroponyms of the Uzbek and Chinese peoples from a cultural-ethnographic perspective. It highlights how naming traditions reflect social structures, beliefs, customs, and historical developments in each culture. The study examines naming ceremonies, the influence of religion and superstition on name selection, the role of family and clan in naming practices, and the evolution of personal naming systems. By comparing Uzbek and Chinese naming customs – from protective names intended to safeguard children to the Chinese practice of multiple names throughout life – the paper reveals both unique cultural specifics and shared human concerns embodied in personal names.
