Māobítou is the pinyin romanization of the Mandarin pronunciation of the Chinese name, written 貓鼻頭 in traditional characters and 猫鼻头 in simplified characters. It literally means "Cat Nose Head" but bítou is a simply a clarifying dialectical variation of bí, itself a dialectical name for a headland.
Maobitou or Maobi was formerly known as Niauphi,[1] from the Hokkien form of the name.
