Vandag is Gorgas, so geregistreer, die naam van plaas Ken. Q. 12-9, suid- oos van Pofadder en in die distrik Kenhardt. vroeër was dit die naam van 'n 'vloer' in ’n gebied met baie name wat uitgaan op -puts, -kolk (ook -kolken en -kolkje), -vloer, -pan en -vlei. Dit laat dink dat Gorgas kan verklaar word soos by dr Van Vreeden. Die fern. sing, -s benoem hier dan die vloer, ’n topografiese kenmerk, en dit is ongetwyfeld die beginpunt van die plaasnaam van vandag
