Witbank, plaas nr 443, noordoos van Gobabis en in daardie distrik, het blykbaar 'n naam wat uit Nama in Afrikaans vertaal is, soos Nama ǃuri = wit, en ǃkho- = 'der Kalk. Kalkgrund' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 245), met die ge- dagte aan die kalkformasie tot banke. Die slot -b (ml. ekv.) iokativeer hier die bank. Die inlandse naam het blykbaar verdwyn behalwe nog in die omgang onder Namasprekers.
