Where the water from the fountain flows, formerly flowed rainwater infiltrated into the cracks of the limestone mass of Mount Africa and stopped by the impermeable layer of clay which constitutes its base. The pool of water thus formed allowed the inhabitants of Corcelles-les-Monts to soak the hemp in order to isolate the textile fibers. This operation, "naizer hemp" in old French, gave the name Naizou.
