There is a debate on the name of Dede Qorqud among historians and linguistics. Historians believe that the name is an special name for a certain person who wrote the Bayat tribe's mythical stories. However, linguistically, dede is just a modifier for qorqud. i.e.: qorqud was a common name and just one of those people who had this name had been identified by dede. The same process works in the combinations such as Shah Ismail, Sultan Selim, or in the everyday language Kanim Solmaz. However, qorqud is not yet a common name neither in Azerbaijan nor in Turkey (the popularity of the name is a place of study in the communities that locate to the west of Caspian Lake). Today, I learned that there was an Ottoman prince with the same name: Şehzade Korkut (wiki). This may be considered as a fact on the popularity of this in the late ancient Turkish proper names.

What does mean "olagh" (FA)?
ulaq - اولاغ
When I was in the primary school I taught in the history course: "there were çapar persons who brought letters from the Achaemenid emperors to the various regional governors in all over the empire territory."
There are two notes here:

There are two notes here:
- ulaq and çapar do the same job (wiki). Moreover, the Farsi word for donkey, olagh, stems from ulaq in Turki because donkeys (instead of horses) were used to perform the telecommunications probably to keep the the job secret.
- The official presence of Turks in ME is known and tough to start on 11th century (1500 after Achaemenids). There is an apparent inconsistency in our History course fiction: presence of an official job called with a Turki word 1500 years before Turks came to ME.
