Prof. O Koehler 1958 Heimatkalendar 103 verklaar die Hereronaam as 'das Vley', maar dr Vedder se gegewens is in die Suidwes-Afrikaanse Argief-lys so weergegee: 'Die kalksteen is daar souterig van aard en word deur die beeste as lekplek gebruik. -n lekplek wat souterig is, word in die Hererotaal ‘otjikango’ genoem'. Hiervolgens beteken die Namanaam klaarblyklik 'Slegte lekplek', ǀǀgasi = 'hasslich' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 84). en dabi- is 'brak-, soutgrond', die soort grond waarvan die tamariskboom hou. Vgl. I)ABIB 1917, 2417/2418, onder meer. Die twee name is dus on- geveer gelykbetekenend; die alternatiewe Namanaam het in onbruik geraak. Hierdie kompleks plase le suidwestelik van Otjiwarongo, in daar- die distrik.
