This article analyzes the formation, semantic features, historical-cultural roots and linguo-cultural features of mythological and religious motifs found in ancient Uzbek names. The study scientifically illuminates anthroponyms that arose on the basis of Turkic mythology, totemistic views, cosmogonic ideas and Islamic tradition. It is argued that sacral, protective and symbolic meanings are predominant in the Uzbek naming system, reflecting the worldview and belief system of the people.
