Initially, the personal name of the Uzbeks was the only one, surnames appeared relatively recently, only at the beginning of the last century. Accordingly, a personal name had to be different from all the others, it was carefully chosen and put a special meaning into it.
The Uzbek language belongs to the Turkic group of languages, many Uzbek names are of Turkic origin. However, like many states in Central Asia, Uzbekistan experienced a strong influence of the Arab countries and the conquests of Alexander the Great on its culture. At present, Uzbek names can have both Turkic and Arabic or Iranian and even Greek roots, although they, of course, have changed as they spread in the Uzbek language.
Often parents gave their children names-spells, invested in them a special meaning, a wish for the future., for example, the name Kuvwat means "power". In a similar way, many names have spread that carry the meaning of some important quality for a person, mainly strength, courage, kindness and intelligence. Even parents often named their child in honor of his external differences (for example, moles, the names Holbek and Holmamat refer to this type) or the place where he was born.
Also, the child could receive a name that protects him from evil spirits, suggesting happiness and success. There are many names related to religious themes. Names such as Ismoil, Ibrahim, Abdurrahman and many others are associated with Islam, they are called upon to predict a righteous life path for children.
Some names mean the names of animals and plants, as if giving children the properties of certain elements of nature. You can give the boy a name in connection with a famous historical figure or event, for example, after the Great Patriotic War, many boys in Uzbekistan were named Zafar, which means “victory”.
How to choose?
When choosing a modern male name in Uzbekistan, many factors are taken into account: meaning, compatibility with the surname and patronymic, tribute to traditions.
However, Recently, some old names have begun to be gradually forgotten. If you wanted an original name for your child, you might want to consider this option.
For many, religious overtones will be an important condition when choosing, and since a large number of Uzbek names have a Muslim meaning, this will not be a problem. It is believed that the name can determine the fate of a person, affect his character. Like it or not, in any case, choosing a name is a responsible step that must be approached responsibly.
List of options for naming male children among Uzbeks alphabetically
In general, all names carry a positive meaning, you just need to choose what suits your child best.
Modern male and female Uzbek names are very beautiful and varied. They were formed over several centuries and absorbed the traditions of naming different peoples. Many names used by Uzbeks have foreign roots. They were borrowed from Turkic, Arabic, Iranian, Greek and other languages. However, the main influence on the local naming system is the customs and living conditions of the Uzbek people. Parents believed that the name was endowed with magical properties. It was believed that it could influence its owner and predetermine his fate. In view of this, children were called only by those beautiful Uzbek names of boys and girls that have a deep meaning and emphasize the individuality of the child in the best way.
The meaning of modern male and female Uzbek names
Most modern female and male Uzbek names have a meaning associated with positive human qualities. It was believed that boys should grow up strong and courageous. In view of this, they were given names symbolizing the wishes of courage, strength and invincibility. Kindness and beauty were recognized as the main virtues of women. To develop these qualities in newborns, they were called Uzbek names for girls, denoting sincerity and external attractiveness.
Children were often named after heroes of legends and famous personalities. In addition, names of religious content were widely used. Often by their distinctive external features (moles, hair color, etc.).
Quite often, Uzbek names of boys were used, indicating animals. At the same time, words denoting jewels, flowers and heavenly bodies were used to name girls. Many of these customs have survived to this day. At the same time, they showed new trends in naming.

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.

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.

What do you think, what are the most common male names in Uzbekistan? What is the most common name given by parents today?
The factorname.ru website presented statistics of companies that carry out 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 variants - Sardor, Sardorbek, Mirsardor or Sardorzhon (these are all different names, but they were considered 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, Sanzharbek, Sanzharkhuzha, Sanzhar, 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).
The most popular name can be considered the male Uzbek name Sardor, 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 twenty of the most popular included the names of 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.
