    The Hoba meteorite, short for Hoba West, is a meteorite that lies on the farm of the same name, not far from Grootfontein, in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia. It has been uncovered but, because of its large mass, has never been moved from where it fell. The main mass is estimated at more than 60 tonnes, making it the largest known meteorite and larger than the 37-tonne fragment of the Campo del Cielo. It is also the most massive naturally occurring piece of iron known on Earth's surface. The name Hoba comes from Khoekhoegowab word meaning gift.
