Stale Size
The Bayat tribe is one of the 24 tribes of the Oghuzes according to the Oghuz Kagan Epic and the ninth of the twenty-two Oghuz divisions in Divan-ı Lügati't-Türk according to Kaşgarlı Mahmud; They are "stale". It is an Oghuz tribe defined as Bayat.
It is accepted that this tribe descended from Gün Han, son of Oğuz Kağan from Bozoklar. However, it should also be taken into account that Kaşgarlı placed the Kiniks in the first place in this ranking, which was in the 24th place before it gained power at that time. Except for Kaşgarlı, the general opinion is that Kayıs are in the 1st rank and Bayats are in the 2nd rank.

The Great Seljuk State, which adopted political unity and centralism as a goal, settled the immigrants who turned to Anatolia in the 11th century to ensure political unity, while dividing large and powerful tribes and placing them in distant regions. The fact that villages and families bearing the names of the great Oghuz tribes such as Kınık, Avşar, Bayındır, Salur, Bayat, Çepni are encountered in different parts of Anatolia today is a result of these "settlement by fragmentation" policies of the Seljuks.
