Some places are so named because the entire region is shaped like a turtle, and there’s no other way to name the place shaped like the turtle’s head. Other places such as this one… is name because… well… There are enough places named 龜頭 that looks nothing like anything that makes me wonder if it’s a common Austronesian location name. Maybe 頭 is Tau, Austronesian for p…

Cut off one head and two will take their place
