This article examines the Baburnama as a vital source of historical and toponymic information. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the etymological information contained in the text, as well as its role in the study of historical geography, linguistics, and ethnography. Based on the works of Russian and international researchers, scholarly approaches to interpreting the toponyms and terms recorded by Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur are explored. The article systematizes the toponymic units found in the source and proposes a classification by origin: legendary, semantic, folk-etymological, and authorial interpretations.
The use of integrated research methods allowed us to identify the characteristics of the formation of geographical names and their connection to natural, historical, and cultural factors. It is noted that the Baburnama contains a significant array of data on the natural conditions, ethnic composition of the population, and the geographic space of Central Asia and adjacent regions. The conclusion is made about the high scientific value of this source for interdisciplinary research and its significance in reconstructing the historical and toponymic picture of the region.
