Die lid Dip- is wel wisseluitspraak van 'n grondwoord wat in ander plek- name hier rond voorkom as eerste lid in DEEPKA, DEPKA (ook 3321), DEBE (3227), en betekenende 'brak' en 'brakbos', vgl. Nama dawe- in Kr.-R. 1969 NW 54, of in Smith 1966 CNSAP 197. Die -na- is dan soos Nama ǃna = in, in hierdie konteks 'Brakbos-in-(die Kloof)', kortom: 'Brakboskloof'.
