This article explores the formation features of proper nouns in English and Uzbek languages. Through a comparative analysis, it reveals both universal linguistic tendencies and unique, culture-specific characteristics. The study focuses on the structural-semantic features of proper nouns, their role in preserving cultural heritage, and their dynamic transformation within each language system. The findings highlight significant differences in their morphological and lexical formation, reflecting distinct cultural and social values. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the structural-morphological and lexico-semantic features of proper nouns. The study shows that while proper nouns in English are primarily distinguished by capitalization and a relatively simple, unchanging morphological structure, they are formed in the Uzbek language with the help of affixes, conveying grammatical meanings through a rich system of suffixes. The analysis also examines the widespread tendency in English to form proper nouns from occupations and place names ("Smith," "London"), while in Uzbek, names often reflect nature, virtues, and familial ties (such as the father's name or honorific suffixes like "-jon"). The findings confirm that proper nouns are not merely grammatical units but also instruments that reflect cultural heritage and social values. The results of the analysis indicate that the differences between these two languages are directly linked to their distinct linguistic structures and socio-cultural development. In conclusion, this study provides a scientific basis for how each language demonstrates its uniqueness through its specific method of naming the world.
