The article explores the linguistic and cultural background of the toponym Pattakesar, a place located near Termez in the Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan. Through comparative linguistic analysis, the author examines the etymology and semantic connections of the components “Patta/Paxta” and “Kesar/Hisor” found in various languages such as Uzbek, Sanskrit, Hindi, and others. The study shows that these components are linked to agriculture, land, and natural features across South and Central Asia. The paper concludes that the name Pattakesar symbolizes historical and cultural interactions between the peoples of these regions, reflecting shared linguistic roots and geographical associations.
