Περίληψη: Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in toponyms as an important historical and cultural heritage. Analyzing their historical etymology provides a better understanding of the role place names perform in the culture and history of a people, as well as in the preservation and transmission of their value to future generations. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the etymology of place names associated with the territory of Central Asia. The qualitative analysis of historical etymology goes beyond the examination of national Turkic sources to include historical sources from other regions, such as East Asia and the Middle East, in which Central Asian geographical names are mentioned. As a result, the study identified Arabic-Persian and Turkic roots in a large number of toponyms, demonstrating close contacts and interconnections between various onomastic traditions. The qualitative research into the origins of ancient Central Asian toponyms strengthens a sense of solidarity and historical continuity among Turkic-speaking communities, highlighting the common linguistic and cultural characteristics of the region. The deep analysis of semantic patterns and historical language contacts contributes to the preservation and revival of the Turkic languages. The research results represent a valuable contribution to linguistics, ethnography, and history, helping to better understand the collective heritage of Turkic peoples and its impact on modernity.
