Starrenburg is die eerste wat die inlandse naam vir Wolweberg gee; hy laat nie ondubbelsinnig blyk of Wolweberg die vertaling van Theima Koethama is nie. Dit kom ons voor of Wolweberg ’n selfstandige naamgewing van die kant van die Blankes is, want hoewel ons ’n dosyn optekeninge van 'wolf’ (hiena) in Ou-Kaaps het, kan ons nie een van hulle met gerustheid aan die Khoekhoense naam verbind nie. Vgl. HOTT 534-4. Die ou Ndl. naam 'Wolvenberg' leef nog in sy Afrikaanse vorm voort as 'Wolfberg' [nie as 'Wolweberg' nie, soos by Mossop], altans soos ingeteken op Topo-kadastrale reeks 1967 vel 3218 Clanwilliam. Op Wolfberg staan landmetersbaken nr 58. Dit le noordelik van leipoldtville. Ons merk in die verbygaan op die twee elemente -ma in die naam.
