Superanskaya, the origin of the name of the city of Kiev is associated with the KayД± tribe: According to the famous Soviet and Russian linguist and turkologist A. Although they are mentioned among the member tribes of Turkic Chorni Klobuky confederation together with other Turkic tribes such as Pechenegs, Berendei and Torks as вЂњKaepichiвЂќ or вЂњKovuiвЂќ in the contemporary chronicles of their age and there is no other mention of a Mongolic or para-Mongolic tribe around Ukraine in the 12nd century, Golden however considers the Kaepichi to be descendants of the para-Mongolic Qay instead. ДЄccording to Soviet archaeologist and ethnographer Sergey Tolstov, part of the Kayi tribe moved in the Middle Ages from Central Asia to modern day Ukraine, they are known in the Old Russian Chronicles as kovuy and kaepichi as one of the tribes that formed the Turkic tribal confederation called Chorni Klobuky (or Karakalpaks) who were allies of the Rurikid khaganate of Kievan Rus. In the 10th century, the Central Asian Oghuz Yabgu State was headed by supreme leaders (or Yabghu) who belonged to the Kayi tribe. The famous Oghuz- Turkic folk narrator, soothsayer and bard Gorkut-ata (Dede Korkut) belonged to the KayД± tribe.

After examining Chinese sources & consulting the works of other scholars ( Pelliot, Minorsky), Zuev proposes that the Kay had belonged to the proto-Mongolic Xianbei tribal union Yuwen Xiongnu and that Kay had been ethnic and linguistic relatives of the Mongolic-speaking Khitans, prior to being known as an Oghuz-Turkmen tribe by the 9th century.

Soviet Sinologist and Turkologist Yury Zuev based on the analysis of tribal names and tamgas from Tang Huiyao, identifies a number of ancient Central Asian Turkic tribes as Oghuz-Turkmen tribes, one of them is the Kay tribe, whom Chinese knew as XГ еҐљ (< MC * Оіiei).

Oghuz Khagan is a semi-legendary figure thought to be the ancient progenitor of Oghuz Turks. In his history work Shajara-i TarДЃkima, the Khan of Khiva and historian, Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur, mentions KayД± among the 24 ancient Turkmen ( Oghuz Turkic) tribes, direct descendants of Oghuz Khagan.
