San is a derogatory word to describe them. In general it refers to several language groups that extend all the way from South Africa to Namibia and Botswana.

So is bushmen. Which does attempt to refer to the San people. It is also considered rude.

It depends on how it is used though. The San council in SA is ok with it’s use in positive contexts.

They have other names by which they refer to themselves.like !Kung. These represent their individual nations.

Himbas don’t have the same language or history as San/Bushmen. Also Himbas raise cattle .. So you are correct that the term “Himba bushmen” is very off. (Although I’m not familiar with Himba’s preferred names)

It’s a very western / German thing to talk like this with out knowing the full context and just assuming “hey they live in the bush lol bushmen”
