Naam van ’n berg, van ’n stasie 14 km van Otjiwarongo, van plaas nr 163 in die dist. Outjo, en van twee plase in dist. Otjiwarongo, P.-Sud nr 23 en van P.- südwest nr 31. In ’n brief aan die PNK 1947 betwyfel dr Vedder dit dat die woord van Nama afkomstig is; eerw. Hugo Hahn vertel met stelligheid dat daar Bergdamaras gewoon het. Mnr Haacke WHG 1976 Asst. Onderwysbeplanner vul dit aan met 'Ofskoon die plaasnaam Paresis is, staan die berge by die Damaras vandag as Paraseb (manlik) en Parases (vroulik) respektiewelik bekend. Die berge word tradisioneel as sentrum van die ǀGaiodaman beskou. Die belangrikste fonteine was glo in die noordelike Parases op plaas Ombarahewa'.
