Abstract
The article presents the results of a study devoted to such an aspect of terminological competence as eponyms. The paper provides a general description of eponyms in the anatomical terminology of English and Uzbek languages. Eponymic terms are an integral part of the medical terminology of different languages that form the scientific discourse. Eponyms as part of the language of science contribute to a deeper understanding of human activity and his culture. The sublanguage of medicine is the most important source of knowledge about those people who created this science, and the tendency in modern linguistics to study the human factor allows us to consider the terms-eponyms in the light of the cognitive approach.

Summary
Issues related to strengthening human health, which is an invaluable asset of society, improving the quality of medical services in our country have always been in the focus of the head of our state. Nestmann notes that the reason for the emergence of eponyms is the need to designate newly appeared phenomena These terms play an important role in naming new phenomena or discoveries in the field of medicine in connection with the established international tradition to name a particular discovery or invention by the name of the scientist who made this discovery or invention. As E.V.Bekisheva points out, “despite the proposal of D.S.Lotte limit the use of eponymous terms, they have become widespread in various fields of science and technology and have an unlimited prospect of replenishment. This is explained, first of all, by the desire to immortalize www.psychologyandeducation.net the name of the scientist for future generations, as well as by insufficient attention of specialists to the process of term creation”. We do not entirely agree with the author of this statement: scientific term creation should take into account the realities of scientific professional communication, in which eponimization, on the one hand, is aimed at verbal consolidation of the achievements of a certain scientific school, and on the other, it reflects the anthropocentric essence of language and human cognitive activity
