afr Plaas, en ook gelyknamige riviertjie wat oor die plaas loop, wes van Kalk- rand, albei binne die Rehobothgebied. Die naam is bodembeskrywend, soos Nama ǃkho- = 'Kalkstein' (Rust 1960 DNW 34). Die slot -s van die vr. ekv. dui hier waarskynlik ook aan dat die beginpunt van die naam ’n bron of fontein was. 'Kalkfontein'
