Plaas nr 364, dist. Gobabis, gespel Tu-Tabis, en verder plaas Tu-Tabis-Noord nr 696. Die segsmanne dink aan Nama tsu = pyn, smart, of tsu = sleg, en -dawes = bymekaarkomplek, ook net plek. Die segsliede soek geen verband met die dabe- of dabi- nie, vir bv. die tamarisk wat hier glo voorkom (Krenz 1976).
