Beautiful Uzbek names for boys and girls. Origin of Uzbek names
What do you think, what are the most common male names in Uzbekistan? What is the most common name given by parents today?
The site factorname.ru presented statistics of companies engaged in marketing research in order to identify consumer preferences of the population, from which data on the most popular names were extracted.
The data of about 5 thousand people were analyzed, as a result of which the most popular names among young people (from 17 to 25 years old) were identified. In general, the analysis revealed more than 200 varieties of names. The analysis of popular names was also complicated by the large number of repeated names with prefixes or additions, such as BEK, ABDU or JON. For example, the name Sardor is available in 3 versions - Sardor, Sardorbek, Mirsardor or Sardorjon (that's all different names, but they were treated as one name in statistics). That is, any name can potentially be duplicated several times in one form or another. As an example, we can cite such names as: Aziz, Azizbek, Abdulaziz, Azizjon, Orif, Orifjon, Sanjarbek, Sanjarhuzha, Sanjar, Khushruz, Khushroz, etc.
It should be noted that, contrary to expectations, the popular name Aziz was not in the top ten popular names - he has 16th place (out of 200).
by the most popular name the male Uzbek name Sardor can be considered, he has the first place. A newborn child was named Sardor by about 25 per thousand children. It is not without reason that the meaning of the name Sardor means "leader", "leader". Here are the ranking results:
20 most popular names:
The name Bekzod took second place. If the name Sardor is repeated 25 times in one thousand, then the name Bekzod can be found 13/1000. Doston (Duston) and Sherzod follow.
Contrary to popular belief about the popularity of the name Aziz, it turned out that it is not in the first place. However, it is in the top twenty. In the ranking, the name "Aziz" (meaning "respected") took 16th place.
The top 20 most popular names are famous people from the history of Uzbekistan and Central Asia, including: Alisher Navoi, Mirzo Ulugbek, Zahiriddin Babur, etc.
Here's how the list of popular male names goes on:
The name Mashkhur ("celebrity") turned out to be unpopular, on the contrary, one of the rarest.
Modern Uzbek names are represented by a large number of components that are widely used. Among them are such components as: zhon, fight, yor, bek, world, abdu, etc. In connection with this, relatively new names constantly appear. Let's take the name Umid as an example, some call the child Umidjon, Umidboy. The common name Orif, there is also a common name Orifjon.

In the first place was the name Rustam - the name Rustam means "courage", "courage" and "strength". The names of Azamat, Anvar, Nodir and Bakhtiyor follow.

And here is an incomplete list of the most rare names. Some of the names sound very nice to the ear:
According to the results statistical processing the longest known male name- Shermukhammajuma.
The modern official anthroponymic model of Uzbeks is trinomial: personal (individual) name, patronymic, surname. But the names corresponding to the full model are used only in official documents and. only in some cases; more often, even in documents, the first two elements are replaced by initials.
The personal (individual) name from antiquity and until recently served as virtually the only anthroponym of the Uzbeks; only sometimes it was accompanied by the name of the father or the name of the place of origin. Since the 8th century, the undivided dominance of Islam in the territory Central Asia brought a lot of Muslim names, mostly Arabic, as well as many Iranian, through the Arabic language of Hebrew (Abraham - Ibrahim, Joseph - Yusuf) and Greek (Alexander - Iskander). Islam pushed back the names of Turkic origin, but could not destroy them: at the beginning of our century, they were worn by about 5% of Uzbeks. Many of the names that came with Islam were associated with religious ideas, heroes of Koranic stories. The most common names were Muhammad (the name of the founder of the Muslim religion), Fatima (the name of the daughter of Muhammad). Compound names spread, for example: Muhammadkarim, Tursunmurad.
Especially often there were names with the first component abd- (Arabic “slave”) and numerous epithets of Allah (Abdurashid “slave of the Wise”, Abdurahim “slave of the Merciful”), with the second component -din “religion”, “faith” or -ulla, “ Allah" (Saifuddin "the sword of religion", Inayatullah "the mercy of Allah"). Initially, these names were the privilege of the clergy and nobility.
A large group consisted of spell names (wishes to a child), for example, male Shukhrat “glory”, Mansur “winner”, female Saodat “happiness”, Zumrad “emerald”. Often the names contained metaphors; so, male names were associated with the concepts of strength, militancy, valor (Asad "lion"), and female names were associated with ideas of beauty and tenderness (Lolagul - tulip flower "). Many names indicated the place, time, circumstances of the birth of the child. Often given "repulsive" names, that is, names with a derogatory meaning, with the aim of frightening or deceiving "evil spirits", especially in those families where children often died. The custom was strictly observed to name the twins Hassan and Hussein (if both are boys), Fatima and Zuhra (if both are girls), Hasan and Zuhra (if a boy and a girl), Fatima and Hussein (if a girl and a boy). The names of the Uzbeks did not have diminutives and other derivative forms. Emotional coloring was given by the addition of -jon (Iranian jan "soul").
Major changes are taking place in the modern name list of Uzbeks. First of all, the grandiose "range" of names is being reduced, although even today the diversity of names is still significant.
Most deep changes occur not in the list of names, but in the frequency of each name. The frequency of names associated with religious themes is decreasing: the frequency of the names Muhammad, Fatima has significantly decreased; almost completely disappeared such names as Khudayberdi "God gave", guard Italmas "the dog will not take". Compound names became rare. The use of names with abd-, -din, -ulla has been greatly reduced. Components of female names Gul and. oh, they are still quite frequent, but they have become only auxiliary name-forming elements, since they are largely desemantized, having lost their original meanings “flower”, “moon”, and are combined with many bases.
Many names, having lost their etymological meanings to a certain extent, acquire new meaning. Thus, the name Alisher is perceived not as "lion Ali" (Iranian sher "lion", Ali is the name of Muhammad's son-in-law), but is associated only with Alisher Navoi. The old female name Zamira, which is mistakenly associated with the Russian words "for peace", has become common.
IN Lately the process of formation of a single Uzbek personal name is activated; in 1969-1971, almost everywhere, Uzbek boys most often received the names Bakhtiyar "happy" and Bahodir "hero", less often - Shukhrat, but in the districts of the Tashkent region - Ravshan, in some districts of the Bukhara region - Ulugbek. The process of consolidation in the field of female names is going on more slowly, but even here there are common trends, although regional differences are still strong: in Samarkand and in the Bukhara region, the first place was taken by the name Dilfuza, and in Tashkent - Gulchekhra, in Ferghana - it varies by region, but more often - Odiha, among the Uzbeks of southern Kazakhstan - Barno, among the Uzbeks of Kyrgyzstan (Leylak district) - Gulnara. Turkic names Erkin "free", Yuldash "comrade" became frequent. Behind last years new names came to the Uzbeks, which were impossible for them before: borrowed from Russian (Oleg, Irina, Tamara) or Western European (Ernst, Louise, Clara) anthroponymy. They are still rare, but appear not only in cities, but also in villages.
Unfortunately, new names are not always successful. So, in the Kashka-Darya region, the name of the boy Akhmed-Zagotskot (given in honor of the institution where the father works), in the Nurata district of the Samarkand region in 1965 the boy received the name Gagarin (the Russian surname is perceived as individual name); sometimes Uzbeks take Russians as a full (passport) name diminutive forms names; So, Sonya, Ira are registered.
There are significant changes in the form of names. In the Turkic languages there is no category of grammatical gender, therefore male and female names did not differ in form. Now that a woman is both in production and in public life, and came out of isolation in everyday life, the mixing of male and female names creates confusion. The formal delimitation of names according to the Russian model refers the names to the consonant to masculine, to the vowel -a - to feminine. At the same time, the following is observed: names that do not meet this norm are becoming obsolete, those corresponding to it are becoming more frequent; disappears -a in male names, appears -a in female.
Patronymic in the past was not obligatory for Uzbeks, but was sometimes used in the following forms: “Turkic ugyl “son” or kyz “daughter” with the father’s previous name” (Ahmed ugyl son of Ahmed”, Ahmed kyz “daughter of Ahmed”) or “Iranian zade "born", "child" also preceded by the father's name. Now the name of the father must be entered in the birth certificate and then in the passport. Among the intelligentsia, the use of patronymics begins to penetrate into everyday communication (especially in cities).

Introduction
The modern anthroponymic model of the Uzbeks is a trinomial: personal (individual) name, patronymic, surname. But names corresponding to the full model are used only in official documents and only in some cases; more often, even in documents, the first two elements are replaced by initials, and in everyday life only the name is used plus the ending aka for men and opa for women[
Anthroponymy as an element of the culture of various peoples has been developing throughout their history. Among the Uzbeks, as well as among other peoples, anthroponymy has also changed over the centuries, but especially this process has been taking place in the last hundred years, covering both the name book and the very structure of the anthroponymic model.
The personal (individual) name from antiquity until recently served as virtually the only anthroponym of the Uzbeks; only sometimes it was accompanied by the name of the father or the name of the place of origin.
2. Arabic names

· Isaac - Ishaq
· Jacob - Yakub
· And she - Yunus
Islam pushed back the names of Turkic origin, but could not destroy them: at the beginning of the last century, they were worn by about 5% of Uzbeks. Many of the names that came with Islam were associated with religious ideas, heroes of Koranic stories. The most common names are Muhammad(name of the founder of the Muslim religion), Fatima(name of Muhammad's daughter). Compound names have spread:
· Muhammadkarim

· Abdurashid - servant of the Wise

· Nuruddin - light of faith

Among the Uzbeks, a fair-haired child was often called by the name Urus- Russian.
However, the motives for naming these names may be different. For example, the desire to deceive evil spirits hostile to a given family, clan and tribe.
7. In families where children often died, parents, powerless in their ignorance, sought salvation in spell names and the following names were given to the born child:
· Ulmas- "will not die"
· Tursun- "let it stay"
· Turgun- "let it stay"
· Tokhta- "stop", "stop"
In families where only girls were born, the newborn, according to legend, should have been called Ugil or Ugilhon- son, Ugilbulsin- “let there be a son”, etc. Also to the wife and eldest daughter addressed by name male(still practiced!) in the hope of having a boy.
8. Names were also given according to various personal characteristics. Any child has some features that sometimes amaze the eye. It could be moles. Uzbeks have many names with the component hall- mole:
· Holdar
· Hol
· Holmurod
· holbeck
According to popular belief, a mole is a lucky sign, and the name Hol, as it were, guarantees a child a happy future.

At the same time, sometimes they resort to a metaphor, correlating red birthmark with pomegranate - anor :

The birth of a child with blond or red hair is a relatively rare case among Uzbeks. This may be reflected in the name:

· Orthicals
· Ortigul
· Ziyod

9. Name Storms(wolf) was given to a child born with a tooth; names Bolt(axe), Tesha(hoe), Urak(sickle) - for children whose umbilical cord was cut (when there were no maternity hospitals and women gave birth at home) with these objects. However, these same names were given to children, wishing them good health.
There are also names given by the names of various natural phenomena and objects, professions, numerals, etc.
We have listed only the main groups of the Uzbek names. Note that most of the names were used with different components. For example, in men:
· the battle - buy

Most of the components mentioned above in Uzbek anthroponymy were widely used by all segments of the population. Peasant children could have names with the addition -bay, -bek, -mirza, -sultan, etc. At the same time, as a rule, the component “zhan” was not added to the name of a representative of the nobility, because it was considered a sign of the common people. Along with the names and components common to all Uzbeks, there were also features characteristic of various regions of Uzbekistan. But now these features are gradually disappearing.
