Guigue (pronounced Gwigwe) is a city in the south of the Valencia Lake, in Carabobo, Venezuela.

According to the Venezuelan polygraph Dr. Lisandro Alvarado, the etymology of Güigüe comes from the indigenous Caribbean toponymy "UIUE", which means axe, or thunderstone, origin attributable to the indigenous people of the contours of the Lake of Tacarigua or Valencia.

[1] The origin Güigüe, until now, has remained uncertain, but most historians say that Güigüe was founded in 1724,[2] in the church of Our Lady of Rosary the oldest book found by Bishop Mariano Martí[citation needed] is a parish record book that was from 1724, when the parish was served by a priest named Cura Capellán.

[citation needed] On the other hand, Don Torcuato Manzo Núñez, who in his book "Historia del estado Carabobo", cites that Güigüe was founded in 1747.
