馬公市鐵線里，古代叫做「鐵線渼」，乾隆時代改叫「鐵線尾」，由於「渼」與「尾」閩南話諧音，改來改去，這個古地名只是音同字不同。
「渼」這個字，沒有字義，是古代一個湖名，叫「渼陂」，位在今陝西省戶縣西；「渼陂湖」的水來自終南山，最後流入「澇水湖」，相傳盛產漂亮的魚。
古代「鐵線渼」沿岸是否盛產漂亮的魚，已無從查考；不過到了清朝乾隆年間，當年澎湖「通判」（縣官）胡建偉所以將「渼」字改為「尾」，原因可能是認為「渼」沒有意義。
清朝時代的「鐵線尾社」屬「嵵裡懊」（類似今鄉公所）管轄。筆者住處毗鄰「鐵線尾」，小時村中耆宿曾說，因為「鐵線尾社」前面沿海有一片海岬，通到測天島，形狀像一條蜿蜒的鐵線而得名。
不過這片海岬，必須在乾潮時才能看到，因為海岬不是土地，而是一片落潮時浮出水面的珊瑚礁；小時常到那一片海岬釣魚，如今回想起來，是有點像一條鐵線的形狀。
海岬，據字典的解釋是，突出在海中之狹長土地的尖端。
如按照「鐵線尾」這三個字解說，這個村落應該座落在一條鐵線的尾端，但事實上村落周邊看不到鐵線，筆者為了查證這個地名的由來，曾經多次請教當地耆宿，但始終找不到確實的答案。
光復時，澎湖地方政府將「鐵線尾社」與鎖港合併為一個里，叫做「鐵鎖里」，到了民國四十年，由於開始實施地方自治，才與鎖港里分開，單獨成為一個里，即鐵線里。
長久以來，每當落潮時，鐵線里西岸就浮出一片珊瑚礁，形狀狹長，像一片狹小陸地，蜿蜒地向西方伸展，一直通到前寮里前面的海岸，取形狀像鐵線的海岬作地名，顯見「鐵線尾社」先民為了取地名，真是煞費苦心。
