His name is sometimes referred to as "Korkut" or sometimes as "Korkut Ata" in historical sources and various Oghuz narrations; It is also known as "Dede Korkut" in Western Turkish. While the folk narratives identified in the Sirderya basin introduced him as a baksi (Shaman), he was introduced as a Muslim Turkish guardian who served as a vizier and advisor to the rulers in written sources. It is thought that he was a soothsayer (kam, baksı) before the Oghuzes accepted Islam, and that he assumed the identity of a saint in parallel with the cultural change in the process of Islamization. In 2018, it was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
