Koegeroo' is plaas nr Uit. Q. 4-43, dist. Willowmore. Ten suide daarvan is die plaas 'Doornbosch' nr Uit. Q. 4-44, op die ooreenstemmende Topografiese kaart is dit 'Doringbos'. Die topografiese nabyheid van Koegeroo en Doringbos/Doornbosch laat die vraag ontstaan of daar nie ook ’n taalkundige verband tussen die name is nie. 'Doring' is in Nama 11khu- (Rust 1960 DNW 14) wat dalk in verband staan met die lid 'Koe-' van 'Koegeroo'. Oor die res van die naam het ons minder sekerheid.
