This article explores the phenomenon of borrowed proper nouns in English and Uzbek, focusing on the linguistic,
historical, and cultural factors that have shaped their development. Borrowing is a universal linguistic process that
enriches languages and reflects cultural contact and exchange. In English, a significant number of personal names, place
names, and institutional names have been borrowed from Latin, French, Greek, and Biblical sources, often carrying deep
historical and cultural connotations. Similarly, Uzbek proper nouns demonstrate a strong influence from Arabic, Persian,
and Russian, reflecting religious traditions, literary heritage, and political history.
The study provides a comparative analysis of the borrowing processes in both languages, highlighting similarities such as
the adaptation of foreign names to native phonetic and morphological systems, as well as differences based on cultural
and historical contexts. Special attention is given to the role of globalization and modern English borrowings in contemporary
Uzbek naming practices. The findings of the study reveal that borrowed proper nouns not only enrich linguistic
resources but also serve as important markers of cultural identity and intercultural communication
