The Guaye[1][2] (Adyghe: Гъоае, romanized: Ğoaye) were one of the Circassian tribes. They were destroyed after the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War, as not a single member survived.[3]

Mentions

In 1857, Leonty Yakovlevich Lyulie gave a description of them, which was the last known mention of them in history.[3]
