Anthroponymic Systems In The Era Of Globalization: Universal Trends And National Identity

Abstract

This article examines the processes of renewal and transformation of anthroponymic systems under the influence of globalization. The study focuses on the impact of global communication, migration, digital culture, and intercultural contact on contemporary naming practices. Using a comparative and interdisciplinary methodological framework, the anthroponymic systems of Uzbek, English, and Russian are analyzed to identify both universal tendencies and culture-specific features. The results reveal that globalization contributes to the expansion of internationally recognizable names, a preference for phonetically simple and communicatively efficient forms, and the growing influence of media and popular culture. At the same time, the study demonstrates the persistence and revitalization of traditional anthroponyms as markers of national and cultural identity, particularly in the Uzbek context. The findings confirm that anthroponymic systems in the global era develop along two intersecting vectors: universalization and the preservation of national-cultural specificity. The article highlights the role of personal names as dynamic sociocultural indicators reflecting the interaction of global and local forces.
