Abstract
Anthroponyms are an important means of refl ection of worldview, mentality, national culture and history of a nation. Moreover, anthroponyms as a result of secondary nomination, function as a rich motivational base for other names, transferring at the same time connotative value to these names. Therefore, the study of personal names as a part of other names, in particular, as part of phytonyms sheds light on many insuffi ciently studied issues of both phytonyms and anthroponyms. The aim of this article is to determine the national specifi c features of anthroponyms as a part of phytonyms in English, Russian and Uzbek languages. To attain this goal, phytonyms with anthroponyms sourced from ancient and biblical legends, myths, literary works and typical names closely associated with British, Russian, Uzbek folklore and life are analyzed from nominative and motivational viewpoint in comparative aspect. The analysis is done by dividing phytonyms with anthroponyms into special motivational groups (1. Anthroponyms – the names of religious fi gures; 2. Anthroponyms – the names of mythological characters; 3. Anthroponyms – the most common names). By carrying out the analysis, unique features of anthroponyms transferred into plant names are clearly identifi ed in the compared languages. The way culture and history of every nation is refl ected in the language by anthroponym transformation into phytonym is also shown.
