Abstract
This article provides a comparative analysis of the linguistic and cultural characteristics of proper names occurring in English and Uzbek paremiological units. During the research, the semantic functions of anthroponyms, toponyms, and religious names used in proverbs and sayings are examined, and their role in reflecting national culture and the people's worldview is highlighted. The analysis reveals that proper names in both languages not only perform a naming function but also serve as important means of transmitting spiritual values, historical memory, and cultural experience from one generation to another.
