Die naam het vandag verdwyn. Ook op die ooreenstemmende vel van die SWA-reeks 1976 1:50 000 kom dit nie voor in enige tak van die Otjinoko nie. Meer weswaarts is op die hipsometries-getinte SWA-reeks 1967 vel 2020 BD Gam nog ingeteken 'Gam Waterhole'. In hierdie wêreld van permanente duine is water skaars, die gebied baie yl bewoon. Hierdie Gamsvlei is waarskynlik te verklaar as 'Watervlei', naas die baie droë vleie hier, eerder as 'leeuvlei', grondwoord dus ǀǀgam- = water, eerder as xam- = leeu.
