Die naam was daar aan die begin vir 'n werf en waterplek aan die Geinab- rivier net wes van die berg wat 'n driehoeksbaken gedra het, minstens tot na 1911 (vgl. DSWA-reeks 1911 Blatt 29 Warmbad). Die element -tana-b verwys spesifiek na die berg, eers met die stam -tana- [dana-] = kop. ook aardrykskundig, dan met die -b van die ml. ekv. wat o.m. bergname aandui. Ook die hoofterm Naraob bevat hierdie indeks as uitgang. Die lid + nara- is soos Nama vir 'platt, flach' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 286). die geheel dan 'Plat(berg)/kop'. Die morfeem -o-(b) val ook weer op, dit kom ook nog bv ander name in hierdie omgewing van die Bondelswarts voor. Die bergnaam het nie plaasnaam geword nie.
