Ramban on Numbers 11:3/רמב"ן על במדבר י״א:ג׳

אוְטַעַם וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא תַּבְעֵרָה – לַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יָרְדָה בּוֹ הָאֵשׁ בִּקְצֵה הַמַּחֲנֶה קָרְאוּ כֵן, וְלֹא נָסְעוּ מִן הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא, רַק בַּחֲנָיָה הַהִיא הִתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה, וְקָרְאוּ שֵׁם הָעִיר אוֹ הַמָּקוֹם קִבְרוֹת הַתַּאֲוָה:
1AND HE [Moses] CALLED THE NAME OF THAT PLACE TABERAH (Burning). [The meaning thereof is that] he called the place on which the fire came down in the uttermost part of the camp145 by that name, and they did not journey from that place, for whilst still encamped there they fell a lusting146, Verse 4. [for flesh], and called the name of the city or place Kibroth-hattaavah (the graves of lust).158
