afr Nie as plaasnaam bewaar nie. Blykbaar is die kleur van die water in die kalkagtige omgewing opvallend, hier 'Skoonmond' of 'Helderfontein/ -bron', by ǃanu = 'rein, sauber...' (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 27), plus -am = mond, met oordrag fontein/bron/waterplek. Die kleur kontrasteer dan met 'Swartfontein' (╪Nu-tsaub) daar naby. Boois J 1979 Taalassistent Aante- kening dink verder ook aan 'Anu-ams = 'Mooimond'
