Teenswoordig gewoonlik du vir 'duik' in Nama. Die -sis is uitgang vir 'plek', veral by water. Die voorstuk e- of i- kan as i = mooi opgevat word, soos in ander plekname. Dus ongeveer: die 'Mooi Induikplek', ook die 'lekker Duikplek'. Die naam verskyn op die kaart van die landmeter- generaal 1972 as 'Etusis' en is plaas nr 75, dist. Karibib.
