The country of Uzbekistan in Central Asia is known for its architecture and ancient cities. With Turkish speakers settled all over the country, the Uzbek language takes its inspiration from Turkish. That is why you would find most of the Uzbek baby names resemble Turkish names. The Turkish speakers settled in Uzbekistan between 600 and 700 AD.
