Albei gee die naam van ’n pan, eintlik panne. Hulle word gesitueer op die plaas 'Schwarzbrunn' nr 238, grensend aan 'Salztal' 239. Die ou Khoekhoense naam het in onbruik geraak. Dit lyk of die betekenis verband hou met Nama ╪ kei [ ╪ khai] = 'gliinzen, ergliinzen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 236), waarvan +khai-╪khai-s die gei'ntensiveerde vorm is (met die -s van die vr. ekv. as aanduiding dat dit hier ’n pannaam is). Die glinstering kom vanweë die skittering van die sontrale wat deur die afsetting van die sout- neerslag weerkaats word. Salztal is op die Kriegskarte nog ingeskryf as 'Zoutpiits'. Die panne is geleë in die distrik Keetmanshoop, noordweste- lik van Aroab.
