Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia, is situated within the Khomas region in the central part of Namibia. Windhoek has two traditional names, Khoekhoe, which translates to hot springs and Otjomuise, a Herero name which means the stream. The name Windhoek was coined by Captain Jonker Afrikaner, a South African national of Afrikaner descent who first established a settlement in Windhoek around 1940.
