This article explores the etymology of common anthroponyms in English and Uzbek, examining how historical and cultural contexts shape their meanings. By analyzing the cognitive processes involved in understanding and interpreting these names, we aim to highlight the interplay between language, culture, and identity. The findings suggest that while both languages exhibit unique naming conventions, they also share common cognitive mechanisms that influence how names are perceived and understood.
