The Kgalagadi tribes-peoplewith the local Khoe-inhabitants of the desert were the first humans to inhabit this desolate desert habitat. Although they were nomadic, the name stayed.The name Kalahari was derived from the Kgalagadi word Makgadikgadi, meaning great thirstland or saltpans.

The name is derived from a Tswana word meaning 'thirsty'. I remember this from my uni days.
Edit: Kgalagadi (from keir) is a Tswana word meaning 'the great thirst'. I googled that! Sorry, buddy. If it's not that, then I dunno anymore.
