Al-Bayati

Al-Bayati (Arabic: البياتي, romanized: al-Bayātī) is a surname. It is connected to the Iraqi al-Bayat tribe.

The ancestry and ethnicity of the al-Bayat tribe is contentious. The tribe's ancestry is often linked to the Oghuz Turkic Bayat tribe [1] and its ethnicity described as Iraqi Turkmen or Turkish.[2][3][4] Other sources however describe it as an Arab tribe or mixed Arab and Kurdish tribe of the Tayy tribal confederacy.[4] The deceased Sheikh Hussein Aloush was ethnically Turkmen.[5] Members of the tribe generally speak Iraqi Arabic and Iraqi Turkmen.[6]
