Table Mountain is a majestic icon that graces the skyline of Cape Town, South Africa. With its flat top and towering slopes, it is one of the most recognizable landmarks on the continent. While Table Mountain is its official name, there are many synonyms that people use to refer to this imposing natural wonder. Some of these include the Cape Table, Tafelberg (the Afrikaans word for "table mountain"), and Hoerikwaggo (a KhoiSan name meaning "mountain of the sea"). Other less common synonyms include Taboa do Cabo, which is Portuguese for "Table of the Cape," and Doho or Dhuo, which are the names used by the San people who once inhabited the area.
