This article explores the linguistic and cultural representation of anthroponyms in the English translation of Temur Tuzuklari (Temur’s Codes), a significant historical document authored by Amir Temur. Anthroponyms, as culturally embedded personal names, play a crucial role in shaping historical and ideological discourse. The research focuses on how personal names in the original Turkic-Persian text are rendered in English, identifying patterns of transliteration, translation, and substitution. Special attention is given to the preservation of semantic identity, socio-cultural associations, and historical relevance. The study also considers the challenges translators face in maintaining authenticity while ensuring comprehensibility for modern English-speaking readers.
