afr Dieselfde by Sprigade-Moisel 1904 Kriegskarte, maar Gab sonder die suig- klap, en ǃGu onvermeld. Dit word gemeen dat die naam verband hou met Nama ǀga = beskutting, skuiling (Kr.-R. 1969 NW 73), bv. in ’n bos, tussen struike, bossies, of in grotte, ens. Die ǀGab staan los van die Duits- Afrikaanse naam Sandfeld/Sandveld.
