The village's name is reflected in the alternative place name designation for Reche Canyon, which is also known as Homhoa Canyon, Homoa Canyon, and Homuba Canyon.[3] The Tongva language word for "hilly place" was reportedly homhoabit.[3]
The village was located at the base of the foothills which surrounded it.[3]
