ǂNūǀaub
It's about Farm No. 144, Dist. Mariental. Agreement between the member ǀ AUB = Fountain and the Auob = Bitter River, in which the fountain lies, is coincidental. Apart from the mentioned, we still have several other saying that the name declared 'Swartfontein' (eg missionaries Fenchel T 1887 and Judt F 1888 in Queen 18 135 and 6 88 respectively. The member is now as Nama ╪nu = black: it relates to the stones or mud (soil). As a descriptive farm name, it often occurs in translated form in Southwest, eg. If Schwarzbrunn No. 33 near Aroab, or as Swartfontein No. 178 near Rehoboth.

Dit gaan hier oor plaas nr 144, dist. Mariental. Ooreenkoms tussen die lid ǀaub = fontein en die Auob = Bitterrivier, waarin die fontein le, is toevallig. Behalwe die genoemdes het ons nog verskeie ander segsliede wat die naam verklaar as 'Swartfontein' (bv. sendelinge Fenchel T 1887 en Judt F 1888 in onderskeidelik Quellen 18 135 en 6 88). Die lid nu- is soos Nama ╪nu = swart: dit het betrekking op die klippe of modder (grond) daarby. As beskrywende plaasnaam kom dit in vertaalde vorm dikwels voor in Suidwes, bv. as Schwarzbrunn nr 33 naby Aroab, of as Swartfontein nr 178 naby Rehoboth.
