Dit geld plaas nr 21, dist. Gobabis, geleë aan die Nossob en aan die grootpad, noord van leonardville. Mnr Moll wat die formulier vir die PNK voltooi het, het die plaaseienaar geraadpleeg en hy se dit beteken 'Grootboom', soos Nama gei = groot, en ǀǀkhu- = doringboom, ’n sp. Acacia. Almal stem saam behalwe dr Vedder wat dit oogfilologies anders, en wel verkeerd, verklaar het. Tog het die PNK besluit om ooreenkomstig dr Vedder se aanwysing te spel Geigous. Op Geikous le nou Geigous. Die -s lokativeer ’n bron waar daar vroeër ’n uitspanning was.
