Banu Chichek

The word Banu/Bani, is of Persian origin meaning "lady" and "wife of the king", therefore it can be thought as a title before the name Chichek.

The name "Chichek" means "flower, blossom" which came from Proto-Turkic "čeček", it has a deep-rooted history indicating beauty and it is used as a female name until this day.

[1] In the story, Bamsi Beyrek's father Bay Pure asks his son, "What girl among the Oghuz do you want to marry?".

"[2] Adrienne Mayor writes, "In other words, "the kind of woman I want" is "not a wife but a companion.

""[3] and "That girl would be Banu Chichak, a Kipchak princess renowned as a skilled "rider, hunter, archer and wrestler.""

Beyrek's horse passes Banu Chichek's and his arrow splits the girl's arrow but when it comes to wrestling, Beyrek was astonished by her strength, he thinks "If I am beaten by this girl they will pour scorn on my head and shame on my face among the teeming Oghuz."

But Lady Chichek has a devious brother called Crazy Karchar, who would kill anyone wishing to marry his sister.

Yaltajuk dipped this shirt in blood and brought it to Bayindir Khan and dropped it on the ground before him claiming he was dead.

Bay Bure secretly asked a group of merchants if they knew what had happened to Beyrek.

The merchants replied in a song; Meanwhile, Beyrek met the daughter of the prince of the infidels, who loved him.
