Gamdouws(Berg)
The farm is full of Calitzdorp and west of the Gamka River. The farm name also presents the mountain name. We assume that this means 'Leeupoort' or 'Leeukloof', as in Old Cape Gam- = Lion (cf. Gamka) and -Dou (W) = port (Hott 370 and 342 resp.)

Die plaas le suidelik van Calitzdorp en ten weste van die Gamkarivier. Die plaasnaam bewaar kennelik ook die bergnaam. Ons neem aan dat dit beteken 'leeupoort' of 'leeukloof', soos in Ou-Kaaps gam- = leeu (vgl. GAMKA) en -dou(w) = poort (HOTT 370 en 342 resp.)
