eng Kampfer JF 1973 Farmer questionnaire 'Goebees, farm, nearest township Springbok. Means 'clock water'. The farm's name is derived from a marsh. Rocks and 'banks' serve as a reception for rainwater. The name arose a.g.v. A how granite bank, with water for it, during royalty. According to my informant, the hunters (Bushmen and Namas) could stalk the wild from behind the rock bank and look over the bank or there is wild '.

afr Kampfer JF 1973 Boer Vraelys 'Goebees, plaas, naaste dorp Springbok. Beteken ‘loerwater’. Die plaas se naam is ontleen aan ’n vlei. Rotse en ‘banke’ dien as opvangplek vir reenwater. Die naam het ontstaan a.g.v. ’n hoe granietbank, met water daarvoor, gedurende reentye. Volgens my informant kon die jagters (Boesmans en Namas) die wild bekruip van agter die rotsbank en oor die bank loer of daar wild is'.

eng The -bees are locally builder, here at a 'water', viz. 'More temporary in nature such as collected waters in marshes and rocks after it has arrived' (Segsman Ca van Niekerk, Anegas, Kamieskroon); The good is like Nama ǀǀ Goe = 'Liege, Sich Legen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 121). 'On the peer' is actually ǀǀ Goe-Am (Aid. 121). 'Look of water' is a good translation. With the localization of the name we have problems. There is a farm with the Spell Goubees on K 3018. The meaning is given under that shape otherwise. In the form 'Goebees' in the topo-cadastral series 1967 sheet 3018 Loeriesfontein no entry of a farm. However, there is a Koubees Revenue 18 km north of Springbok on K 2917 BD (cf. Topographic Series 1974 Skin 2916 Springbok); It's not a farm but is closer to Springbok than Goubees.

afr Die -bees is lokaliteitsuffiks, hier by ’n 'water', nl. 'meer tydelik van aard soos versamelde waters in vleie en klipbanke nadat dit gereent het' (segsman CA van Niekerk, Anegas, Kamieskroon); die Goe- is soos Nama ǀǀgoe = 'liegen, sich legen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 121). 'Op die loer' is eintlik ǀǀgoe-am (aid. 121). 'loerwater' is ’n goeie vertaling. Met die lokalisering van die naam het ons probleme. Daar is ’n plaas met die spelling GOUBEES op K 3018. Die betekenis word onder daardie vorm anders aangegee. In die vorm 'Goebees' is daar in die Topo-kadastrale reeks 1967 vel 3018 loeriesfontein geen inskrywing van ’n plaas nie. Daar is egter ’n KOUBEES ongeveeer 18 km noord van Springbok op K 2917 BD (vgl. Topografiese reeks 1974 vel 2916 Springbok); dis nie ’n plaas nie maar is nader aan Springbok as GOUBEES.
