In the traditions of the Turkic tribes, the origin of this tribe is traced to Bayat - the grandson of Oghuz-Khan. In the book of the Khan and historian of the Khiva Khanate, Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur, “Genealogy of the Turkmens,” the meaning of the name of the tribe is given as “rich”. Bayat was the second son of Gun-Khan, who was the first son of Oguz-Khan. According to the work of the historian, Rashid-al-Din Fazl-Allah, “Oghuz-nameh”, which is part of his extensive historical work Jami' al-tawarikh (Collection of Chronicles), the name Bayat means “rich, full of grace”.
