Uzbek Baby Name Generator
Uzbek names combine Turkic words with a strong Persian and Arabic layer, and Uzbek spellings often show their own vowels, for example Oybek beside Kazakh Aybek.
The generator picks from names recorded for Uzbek in our database. Latin spelling is the current official form; Cyrillic spellings are shown as a separate form where we have them.

Uzbek spelling and script
Uzbekistan reintroduced a Latin alphabet in 1993, alongside the Cyrillic alphabet used since 1940, and both are in everyday use. The letters oʻ and gʻ are part of the spelling, which is why Uzbek Oybek and Kazakh Aybek can be the same name in two languages.
Our Latin forms follow the current Uzbek Latin alphabet. Cyrillic spellings on name pages are labelled: some are converted by rule rather than attested in a source, and the page says which.
How a full Uzbek name is written
Uzbek full names traditionally use the father's name with -ov / -ova (Russian-era) or the older -o'g'li (son of) / -qizi (daughter of), written as a separate word.
Surnames traditionally take -ov or -ova from the father's name; the older pattern puts o'g'li (son of) or qizi (daughter of) after it as a separate word. Both appear in documents, depending on the family and on the period.
- -ov / -ova: The common surname form, e.g. Rustamov.
- -o'g'li / -qizi: Son of / daughter of, e.g. Rustam o'g'li.
Practice varies by family, country and period.

Practical tips for Uzbek parents
Many Uzbek names have a Persian layer. If you want a name that is also known in Tajik or Persian-speaking families, look at the origin line on each card.
Apostrophe-like marks cause spelling drift: oʻ, o' and o’ are all typed for the same letter. Settle on one form for documents and do not copy it from a web page that changed it automatically.
Check the full name aloud with -ov or -ova added. Some names ending in a vowel take a different surname ending, and the generator marks those it cannot form.
What to keep in mind about Uzbek data
- The Uzbek collection is smaller than the Uyghur or Kazakh ones, and a name you know may not be researched yet.
- Cyrillic forms are partly rule-based, and a family spelling may differ.

Questions and answers
How do Uzbek surnames work?
Surnames traditionally take -ov or -ova from the father's name; the older form puts o'g'li (son of) or qizi (daughter of) after it as a separate word. The convention option in the generator shows both.
Are Cyrillic forms exact?
Cyrillic spellings for Uzbek on this site may be converted by rule rather than attested in a source; the name page labels them as a Cyrillic spelling.
Can I filter by origin?
Yes. Choose Turkic, Arabic or Persian to see names whose elements come from that language; origin is not the same as the language that uses the name.
Why are some Uzbek meanings marked Documented?
Uzbek and Kyrgyz Wikipedia entries and Wikidata items give citable statements for a number of names, so those meanings carry a cited revision.
What are the marks in oʻ and gʻ?
They are part of the letters of the Uzbek Latin alphabet, written with a modifier apostrophe, and they mark sounds that differ from plain o and g. We keep them in the spelling.
Do Uzbek names mean the same as Kazakh or Uyghur ones?
Often, but not always. Related languages share many names and roots, yet a name can carry a different meaning or use. Each page states the meaning recorded for the language.
Which Uzbek names are best documented?
Those labelled Documented, which have a cited Wikipedia revision, Wikidata item or Wiktionary entry. Use the Label filter to list only them.
