Die lid Gam- is soos Nama gama = 'krumm biegen' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 68) en -lUnia = palmbome (per FK Krenz), die 'Bron by die krom palm- boom'. In die onmiddellike omgewing is plase met name waarvan die een bestanddeel 'Palm-' is. bv. Palm nr 708 op 1913 DD/1914 CC, net suid- westelik van die Grootberg, bokant horn Palmwag nr 702, noordwestelik grensend aan Palm, en tussenin die rivier Uniab. Dit is klaarblyklik ’n ou naam. Die plek is geleë in die huidige distrik Damaraland.
