COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTHROPONYMS IN THE UZBEK AND ENGLISH FOLK EPICS

This article explores a comparative analysis of anthroponyms (personal names) found in two renowned heroic epics: the Uzbek epic Alpomish and the Old English Beowulf. Both works mirror the ethical principles, social organization, and linguistic creativity of their respective cultures. Whereas Alpomish reflects a fusion of Turkic heritage and Islamic traditions, Beowulf illustrates the transition from Germanic pagan beliefs to early Christian thought. Adopting a linguocultural approach, the study explores how personal names in these epics symbolize courage, faithfulness, and shared cultural identity.
