Die volksnaam 'brosdoring' word, volgens Smith 1966 CNSAP 179, toegepas op die Phaeoptilum spinosum, en soms ook op die Acacia robusta. Die -gha- in die plaasnaam is soos Nama -xa-, beteken 'ryk aan, volop aan', 'baie', en die -s sal lokatiewe funksie he, dus: die 'Plek (-s) met baie (-xa-) brosdorings (tjiri-)'. Naam kom nie voor op die beskikbare plaasnaamlyste nie; kwardraat soos vir Auas geneem.
