Jeti ata (also Jety-ata Zhety-ata Zheti-ata, Kazakh: Жеті ата, "seven fathers, seven ancestors") is a tradition among the Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, and Bashkirs (Bashkir: ете быуын), in which one is obligated to know or recite the names of at least seven direct blood ancestors such as father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great-grandfather etc. This process often has been taught for generations from childhood by parents.
