Dit is die naam van plase nommers 292 en 293, en daarop van ’n gelykna- mige stasie, distrik Klerksdorp, noordwestelik van die dorp. Fonteine moes oudtyds volop in hierdie omgewing gewees het, soos blyk uit die plaas- name waarvan -fontein die slotlid is. Die naam oorbietjie, die eerste lid, vertel dat die Ourebia ourebi hier aangetref was. Die woord oorbietjie in Afrikaans is 'n leenwoord uit Khoekhoens. Kyk ook onder ORIBI in TH A** 970.
