The Yegeruqway (Adyghe: Еджэрыкъуай, romanized: Yedjərıqway; Russian: Егерукаевцы, Yegerukaevtsy) were one of the twelve major Circassian tribes, representing one of the twelve stars on the green-and-gold Circassian flag. There is also a small town with a form of the same name Egerukhay (Russian: Егерухай, Yegerukhaj) in the Koshekhablsky District, Adygea, Russia. The Yegeruqway currently reside in said town, other places of habitation include Khatazhukay and Dzherokay.
