The Kayı or Kayi tribe ( Karakhanid : قَيِغْ romanized: qayïγ or qayig ; Turkish : Kayı boyu , Turkmen : Gaýy taýpasy ) were an Oghuz Turkic people and a sub-branch of the Bozok tribal federation. In his Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk , the 11th century Kara-Khanid scholar Mahmud al-Kashgari cited Kayı as of one of 22 Oghuz tribes, saying that Oghuz were also called Turkomans . The name Kayı means " the one who has might and power by relationship " and the Turkmen proverb says that " people shall be headed by Kayı and Bayat tribes" ( Turkmen : Il başy - gaýy-baýat ).
