Volgens S.A.-reeks 1972 vel 3119 CC Doringbos skaal 1:50 000 le Karagab op die plaas landskloof 953, en wel aan die hange van die Matarakoppies. Afgaande op die klank sou mens Karagab. -n kloof (let op die ml. ekv. -b wat die kloofnaam kan signaleer) wil verklaar as die 'Kokerboomryke kloof', by Nama 11gara- = 'die Aloe, der 'kokkerboom-' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 83), en -xa-. die hoeveelheidsmorfeem, vir 'ryk aan, baie'. Die wis- seling k- en -g (Kara- x 11gara-) is vir die oor van die Blanke gewoon.
