Wikar 1779 gebruik net die ou Hollandse naam 'Comp(anjies) Wagendrift', in wisselende spelling. Die Namawoord, meestal soos by Schultze, is duidelik klanknabootsend. Vir Ou-Kaapse name en variante vgl. HOTT 354. In ons opgawes wissel g- en k- mekaar af, ’n bekende en 'normale' variabiliteit, en hulle allofoneer weer met die h- van die huidige Nama in ǀǀharaga-s vir die Otis afroides. Die een vroeëre naam was dus, in Afrikaans vertaal, 'Korhaandrif'. Vandag bekend as Ramansdrift, maar op Topo-kadastrale reeks 1967 vel 2818 Warmbad is die inskrywing vir die gelyknamige plaas 'Ramons Drift' nr G.l. 30-11-1898, en regs daarvan 'Hahn Romansberg', almal net suid van die Oranjerivier op die gegewe graadvierkant.
