「豬母落水」這個古代地名，是澎湖群島較不雅的地名之一，光復後，澎湖地方政府一改再改，終於改成一個相當雅緻的新地名來了，它就是馬公市山水里，有山有水。
古代的山水里為什麼會叫「豬母落水」？現在七、八十歲的年高澎湖居民都知道由來與典故。
在古代，山水里沿海的大型水產動物較多，其中有一種叫做「土婆」（土婆是閩南話，牠是一種巨大八腳魚，每隻多在一百多斤以上，十分嚇人），常常爬到海岸覓食，而先民養豬都未設豬舍，毛豬常在海岸活動，當「土婆」發現毛豬，立即快速地追趕上來，用八支巨爪將毛豬逮捕入海吃了，先民看到這種情景，就以此為地名，叫做「豬母落水」，目的是要大家提高警覺，不要隨便放任毛豬到海岸活動，避免被「土婆」抓入海吃掉。
在古代，山水里是較晚形成的村落之一，原因是該里海岸都是白色沙灘，海盜船常登陸，而先民最怕被海盜搶劫，因此不敢在此處定居。
據文獻記載，一直到清朝乾隆、康熙年間，才漸成村落（居民較多了），後來，當地先民認為「豬母落水」這個地名太長不好叫，因而改為「豬母水」。 光復後，澎湖地方政府認為「豬母水」這地名還是不雅，就改名叫「珠江」，但還是覺得不妥，最後才改成山水，因為山水里海岸有個坡地叫做「觀音山」，加上藍天碧海，改名山水里最適合。
地名改好了，村落居民的處世價值觀也跟著進步了，例如山水里以姓陳居民較多，祠堂也建得較多（現在有三座），祠堂的原名叫「陳氏家廟」，近年新建的祠堂已改名「陳氏祠堂」，這又是另一項進步。
