Debe is the name of a river, his inland name Debe is still living, as simplex or as a first component in hybrid composite forms.

According to Map No. 5 of Forbes mouth the Deberivier southeast of Alice in the Keiskamma. Beutler's Brak River is a translation of the Khoekhoense name.

afr
Debe is die naam van 'n rivier, sy inlandse naam Debe leef nog voort, as simpleks of as eerste komponent in hibridies-saamgestelde vorme. Debe Nek, ’n poskantoor en stasie, en regs van horn Debe Hollows, le ten weste van King William’s Town aan die hoofpad na Middledrift. Volgens kaart nr 5 van Forbes mond die Deberivier suidoos van Alice uit in die Keiskamma. Beutler se Brakrivier is 'n vertaling van die Khoekhoense naam. Deba, Debe en Tewe is wisseluitsprake van wat ons in Namagebiede leer ken het as dabe-, davi-, dawe- ens., nl. in die sin van brak, ook van brakbos/soutbos. Die brak het wel betrekking op die hoedanigheid van die water, bepaal deur die bodemgesteldheid.
