This paper explores the lexical-semantic features and etymology of hydronyms in the Tashkent region. It reviews various approaches to the classification of geographical names proposed by both Turkic and Slavic toponymists. Special attention is given to the semantic fields reflected in hydronyms and their connection to natural features, human activity, and socio-cultural factors. The study aims to classify Tashkent region hydronyms into distinct groups based on their origin, meaning, and linguistic structure. The findings highlight the historical and cultural significance of hydronyms and the necessity of considering both linguistic and extralinguistic factors in their analysis.References
