The Orange Free State was named after the Orange River. The Orange River was named after the House of Orange. Part of the Orange River divides the Cape from the Free State aka Orange Free State. The Afikaans dialect spoken by the Griquas (part Boer & Khoi) is called Orange River Afrikaans after the Orange River where they trekked to founding a minimal state known as Griqualand in 1810. The dialect spoken by the Voortrekkers & Trek Boers was called Eastern Border Afrikaans due to their location in the eastern Cape & thus the eastern frontier.
