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 thatenriches languages and reflects cultural contact and exchange. In English, a significant number of personal names, placenames, and institutional names have been borrowed from Latin, French, Greek, and Biblical sources, often carrying deephistorical 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 asthe adaptation of foreign names to native phonetic and morphological systems, as well as differences based on culturaland historical contexts. Special attention is given to the role of globalization and modern English borrowings in contemporaryUzbek naming practices. The findings of the study reveal that borrowed proper nouns not only enrich linguisticresources but also serve as important markers of cultural identity and intercultural communication
