How do I translate the word "Town's End"?


I'm trying to figure out the proper way to translate "Town's End" (a play on
my last name of "Townsend", like someone living at the end of town).

I've found the word for "town", which is: 町

I think the appropriate match for end would be 端, but I'm not sure.

But would it need の in between? Such as 端の町? Would that be correct? Is 端 the
correct word for what I want to convey?




「[端]{はし}の[町]{まち}」 means "a town at the end (of something)", which is probably
not what you are looking for.

「町の端」 means "one end of a town", which is the meaning I suppose you would
want.

The 「の」 does not look good in a name, so you might just drop it and use a
「町端」, which might actually exist as a family name. It would probably be read
まちはた instead of まちはし, though.

(In reality, however, your last name is either タウンゼンド or タウンゼント in Japanese.)
