Dit is die naam van plaas 114, dist. Keetmanshoop, en ’n gelyknamige sylyn daarop. Die -b is plekduidend, die -xa- benoem ’n oorvloed aan die saak, hier aan die ǃgawa-bos of driedoring (Krenz FK 1974 Aantekening), vgl. ook Budack vir swartdoring (Smith 1966 CNSAP 605). Die plaas het sy naam van die 'rivier' wat daardeur stroom, ’n sytak van die lowenrivier. Vgl. GAWAKAM. Krenz FK 1976 Boer verskil in een opsig van Christian as hy se 'ǃGawa is ’n bos met wit blomme en word van alle diere gevreet'.
