This article analyzes the hydronyms utilized in Mirmukhsin’s historical novel "Temur Malik", with a particular focus on prominent water bodies including the Khazar (Caspian) Sea, Amu Darya, Syr Darya, and Zerafshan. Through a systematic lexical-semantic and historical-etymological framework, the paper investigates how these proper names function within the literary text and uncovers their underlying linguistic origins. The research illustrates that artistic historical narratives serve as rich repositories for ancient toponymic strata, reflecting the ethno-cultural landscape, socioeconomic structures, and geographic realities of the Central Asian region. By tracing these hydronyms back to ancient Turkic, Iranian, and Greek sources, the study illuminates the complex processes of language contact and naming evolution in Uzbek lexicography.
