Die ouer kaarte gee die naam op as Namtob/-top wat afwissel met Namtib. In die vorm Namtib kom hierdie selfde plek voor saam met die suidelike buurplaas waarmee dit nou tot een plaas verenig is, kyk hieroor KOIIMA- SISNAMTIB, ook oor die ligging. Hier geld dit nou net die betekenis. Dit is 'Biesie(s)plek'. Matjiesgoed (van biesies gevleg) is gewoonlik ǀharu-b, die wisselnaam wat in die DSWA-reeks 1911 staan. Die bewerking van die haru-biesies tot matjies is in Nama ǀna = 'falzen, glatten (Binsen beim Mattenstechen)' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 270), dit is, met die naald uit been word groefies gemaak vir die vaswerk. Interessant is die wisseling van n- en h- (Nam-/Ham-) in die opgawe van die Kriegskarte, vgl. verder TH A* 46 (5 D 6). ǀNamteb, Namtib, Hamtip en Namtop/-b is almal vorme van Nama ǀnam- = biesies (vir matjiesgoed), plus -te/ti/to- as lokatiefmorfeem plus -b ( -p), ml. ekv., as indeks van die langerige biesieriet self. Die biesies kom voor daar by die oop water waar Boesmans gebly het (vgl. die mededeling van mnr Kessler s.v. KOUMASIS).
