The article deals with the influence of Islam on Uzbek anthroponymy. By focusing on the syntactic, semantic and cultural properties of personal names, this article illustrates how Islamic ideasand Arabic-Persian linguistic items have penetrated in to the traditional Uzbek space. The paper uses three procedures of male name ergonymic element realization: the processes ad- dition with- -ullo/-ulla, -din and Islam; inclusion in the composition of Kyrgyz personal names onyms of religious calendrical holidays,- lunarcycles,- titlesof relatives. It also investigates the development and meaning changes in Turkic perception of honorific female titles’ (Bibi, Beka). The findings demonstrated that the anthroponymy of Uzbeks is not just a system of names, but also an ethnic history of Islamization, spiritual heritage and nation-building.
