The fact that this word was found among various branches of the Oghuz since very early times is evidence that it already existed by the time the Oghuz settled on the banks of the Seyhun and is therefore evidence that it existed before the founding of the Great Seljuk dynasty. The old meaning of the word ozan was forgotten among the Oghuz of Anatolia and Azerbaijan, Ozan word, nevertheless, continued to exist up to modern times in both the literary language and colloquial language but meant "one who talks a lot, one who babbles". The word was also used as the name for gypsy musicians in some places in Anatolia.
