    boyu, Turkmen: Baýat taýpasy) is one of the Oghuz tribes

    groups of Turkmens, Turkish and Azerbaijanis.[4] Bayats are Muslim and speak a

    Etymology and origin[edit]


    Initially, the ethnonym Bayat was mentioned as an Oguz tribe in the 11th century by
    the Turkic historian Mahmud Kashgari.[6] Bayat - an Oghuz Turkic tribe, who stood
    together with the Kayi tribe at the head of all 24 Oguz tribes - "Il bashi Kayi-Bayat."
    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.[7] 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”. [8]
    On the territory of Kievan Rus, Bayats are recorded as part of the Oghuz tribes in
    chronicles of the X-XII centuries by the name of bouts.[9]

    Clans[edit]
    Bayat is the name of an originally Turkic clan in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran which
    traces its origin to the 12th century. When Bayat clan started to migrate from the Aral
    steppes, their first destination was the city of Nishapur in the south of Khorasan, a
    state in the north-east of Iran. The Bayat clan moved in the 13th century to three
    different locations after attacks by Mongol forces.
    From there, one group went east and north-east, so that the surname Bayat is still
    found in Afghanistan.[10] They moved further south and settled in the Gujarat
    Province, India. Bayat families are found in Surat, India and surrounding areas
    including Vorwad, Navsari, India. During the British Raj of India, many prominent
    businessmen and Islamic Scholars left India and took the opportunity to settle in the
    Natal and Transvaal Provinces of South Africa.
    A second group went south-west towards Isfahan, and the surname Bayat is
    prominent in Arak, Hamedan, Malayer, Isfahan, Zanjan and Shiraz cities. The third
    group went north-west, and in Azerbaijan they divided in two; one part of the group
    took the west to Anatolia, and second part went south into Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

    Bayat in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan [edit]


    Until 1928, the Gyzyletrek settlement of the Balkan velayat of Turkmenistan was
    called Bayathaji, while Bayat Turkmens still live
    in Darganata, Danew, Turkmenabat, Sayat, Farap and Hojambaz etraps (districts) of
    the Lebap velayat of Turkmenistan. Representatives of the Bayat tribe may also be
    found in many districts of Bukhara province of Uzbekistan, especially
    in Olat and Qarako'l.

    Places with name Bayat[edit]


    Bayats are spread far into western Anatolia, their principal areas of settlement being
    in the provinces of Konya, Bursa, Afyon, Balıkesir and Kütahya. Today the name in
    forms such as Bayat, Bayatlar, Bayatlı is found in thirty-two mainly western Anatolian
    toponyms. The name also appears in toponyms in Iran, two near Arāk, one near
    Zanjan, one near Urmia, one in Khuzestan, one near Borūjerd, and one in Khorasan.
    In post-Soviet countries, five places in Azerbaijan, four in Turkmenistan, and one in
    Uzbekistan close to the Turkmenistan border bear the names Bayat. [11] In Gujarat,
    India, one place can be found about 250 km away from the India-Pakistan border.
