Recent studies in the field of historical cartography show that on political maps of the world made in Western Europe in the 16th-18th centuries, the region of Central Asia was called by such names as Usbek, Usbekia, Özbegistan. This article discusses two of such maps. The first is the «Map of the Caspian Sea and the Uzbek Country» compiled in 1735 by the Danish mapmaker Abraham Maas, and the second is the «Map of the Caspian and Aral Seas» compiled by the Greek traveler Vasilio Vatatsi and published in 1732 in London. The place-name «Uzbekistan» is also found in textual sources of the XVI – XVIII centuries. These data show that the place-name «Uzbekistan» was not entered to use in 1924 by the Russians, but was widely used in the political and historical-geographical literature of Europe in the 16th – 18th centuries. At that time, the toponyms Usbek, Usbekia, Özbegistan were used in relation to the entire Central Asia, and meant the state of the Sheibanids and Ashtarkhanids.
