RELIGIOUS AND MYTHOLOGICAL INFLUENCES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK TOPONOMY
Abstract
Toponyms, or place names, serve as linguistic artifacts that encode historical, cultural, and religious influences. In both English and Uzbek languages, toponymy has been shaped by religious and mythological traditions. This paper explores the impact of religious beliefs and mythological narratives on place names in English- and Uzbek-speaking regions. By examining etymological origins and historical contexts, this study highlights the shared and unique aspects of religious and mythological influences in English and Uzbek toponyms.
