「雞母塢」（五德里）、「豬母水」（山水里）、「寡婦島」（西嶼鄉），是澎湖三個不雅的地名，但是由於都有「典故」，本名只當作笑談，請澎湖當地人士諒解。
─雞母塢：「這個字以閩南話解讀就是巢，「雞母」成國語就是母雞，而母雞的巢最髒，因此不雅。
─豬母水：將「豬母」解釋成國語就是母豬，而母豬躺在水裡乘涼，也不雅。
─寡婦島，是由外地人所取，形容島上寡婦最多，當然不雅。
「寡婦島」的正式地名，元朝及明朝時代叫做「漁翁島」，非常別緻，也與人文環境吻合；清朝時代叫做「西嶼鄉」，也很好，因此一直沿用到現在。
據「同安縣志」記載，元朝至元年間（公元十二世紀），朝廷第一次派官吏到澎湖，當戰船開到西嶼鄉西方時，因為西嶼島周邊海域有許多漁船在捕撈作業，船上官吏發現到島嶼，非常高興，因此大叫：「這是個漁翁島」！
他這一叫，「漁翁島」這個地名從此沿用了五百年之久。到了清朝順治初年，重新規劃澎湖的地名時，當年的澎湖地方官─「澎湖巡檢」周之貴，「順天府」（今北平市）人，認為「漁翁島」位在本縣西方，因此改名叫「西嶼澳」，形容西方島嶼之意，十分恰當。
至於「寡婦島」的由來是，在光復前後由於氣象儀器不好，預報天氣變化不準確，導致澎湖許多漁船常發生海灘。
西嶼鄉的漁船也不例外。自民國三四年到四十年間，澎湖六鄉市以西嶼鄉漁船發生海難的次數較多，當然不幸死於海難的男人也較多，失去丈夫的婦女人數居全縣之首。
在那些年裡，由於兵荒馬亂，不少來自大陸各省的未婚男人，住在西嶼鄉，可能是急著成家，看到島上各村落都有失去丈夫的婦女，加上單身漢沒錢娶不起年輕小姐，就紛紛與寡婦湊合，草草成婚，「寡婦島」因而成為外地男人成家的的地方而得名。
