The name Ongandjera is from "aagandji yiiyela". Iiyela can be referred to gold metal thread beads [2] . In those times, the gold metal thread beads were used for shooting arrows, and some for healing or strengthening people's bones. Ongandjera is therefore where the gold metal thread beads came from and in English, Ongandjera basically referred to a place of gold metal thread beads.
