According to Dr of peacocks, then beyond Gums; Gomi is male, goms female. That there were meadow oilwood trees, and that the farm name of earlier corresponds to the Nama word for the tree type, making it convincing that the old inland name goms means 'Olienhoutboomplek', cf. Nama igoms = 'Olivenholzbusch' (Rust 1960 DNW 46). And yet this is not the case, we think. The current farm name Banksfontein Gr. 11/1951 just east of Campbell and at the main road, was translated from Khoekhens (Griqua), according to Return of Krenz FK 1976 Farmer ''ǀ Goms = Bank (fels .

Volgens dr Van Vreeden dan verder soos by GOEMS; gomi is manlik, goms vroulik. Dat daar wei'klik olienhoutbome was, en dat die plaasnaam van vroeër ooreenstem met die Namawoord vir die boomsoort, maak dit tog oor- tuigend dat die ou inlandse naam Goms beteken 'Olienhoutboomplek', vgl. Nama Igoms = 'Olivenholzbusch' (Rust 1960 DNW 46). En tog is dit nie die geval nie, meen ons. Die huidige plaasnaam Banksfontein Gr. 11/1951 net oos van Campbell en aan die hoofpad, is uit Khoekhoens (Griekwa) vertaal, volgens opgawe van Krenz FK 1976 Boer '‘ǀGoms = Bank (Fels)'. Die -s sal die lokatief vir '-fontein' wees. Die ou naam het dr Van Vreeden in ’n kaart gekry.
