In all the world, Kauye (Kauye 
) is a rare principally female, but very infrequently male first name. The first name Kauye is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Tanzania, where it is a rare female name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare dominantly masculine, but infrequently feminine name. Much less frequently, Kauye is the last name as well as the forename.
