Die Dǀ is die dentale slag, dus te lees as ǀAba-ǀouis, in Nama ǀawa en ǀaba = rooi; ǀui- = klip, ook berg. Rooiberg kom ’n paar keer voor op die kaart van die distrik Namakwaland, so op die hoogtes K. 2917 DC, 2918 AC, 2817 AA en 3017 DB; Laidler gee ook ’n aanduiding met te sê dat dit naby Gorap le en Gorap se kwadraat is 2917 CC, sodat ons by Laidler sonder veel twyfel die ou inlandse naam van die een of ander van hierdie Rooiberge het, indien nie van almal nie, ’n bodemkleur wat kenmerkend van die omgewing is (daar is bv. ’n Roode Kol, Roodelaagte, Roode Vley, Rooidam, almal in die buurt.)
