Dit is die naam van plaas nr 6 noordoostelik van Bethanien, gedeeltelik aan die westelike oewer van die Visrivier. Die Gorob begin sy loop op die plaas, en daar is ook 'n groot vleiagtige pan, vgl. SWA-reeks 1968 vel 2616 Bethanien. Die komponent Gava-, wisseluitspraak van Igaba-, ook van Igawa- (vgl. TH A* 43 onder 5 B 1 vir b/w), is vir die Catophractes alexan- dri of swartdoring (Smith 1966 CNSAP 605), die -am- = mond, opening, bv. in oordragtelike sin vir ’n fonteinoog, puts, ens., met die -s (sing, fern.) meer bepaaldelik vir 'n waterplek of woonplek, werf ens. Hierdie swartdoring kom veelvuldig langs die Visrivier voor, blykens plekname, vgl. o.a. GABASIS, GAWACHAB en GAWAGAM.
