Die hoofsaaklikste is gesê, die naam is afgelêi van die grondwoord gei, [kai] = 'groot, sterk, hoog, steil', in laasgenoemde betekenis o.a. ook by GYDO(PAS) alw. Die lid -eseb van Hahn en Kiepert (nie aangehaal nie) het teen die tyd van Dove en die Kriegskarte al oorgegaan tot -as(s)e-b. Die bergmassa vertoon groot op Hahn se kaart, wes van Otjimbingwe.
