Personal names are an essential part of human communication and cultural identity. One of their key features is the ability to reflect gender distinctions shaped by social and cultural norms. This paper examines gender characteristics in English and Uzbek personal names from a linguocultural perspective. The study focuses on how meanings, structure, and cultural associations influence gendered naming practices. The analysis shows that while both languages clearly distinguish gender through names, the underlying mechanisms and cultural motivations differ significantly.
