The Turkish word was developed in the name of Goyturk khanate. In the Uyghur writings of the 10th century, the Turkish word was used to mean "power", "force". In Mahmud Kashgari, it is noted that the Turkic names were given to the Turks by God, and were used in the meanings of "youth", "strength", "power", "maturity". It is also a fact that the Goyturks wrote a real history. In contemporary literature, the works "Death of Bozkurds", "Bozkurds are resurrected" are dedicated to the history of Goyturks.
