Eintlik is Soetwater ’n vertaling. Die lid -bees, ook -bes of -bis, is nie net plekaanduidend nie, maar deur assosiasie soms ’n plek met water van onderskeie omvang. In die lys van plaasname vir Namakwaland vind ons nie ’n plaas met die naam Soet/Zoetwater nie. Wel is daar ’n DAN- NABIES(BERG) op dieselfde graadvierkant.
