From LoveToKnow 1911

The reference to 'Menai Bridge (Pont y Borth)' in a description of urban district introduces a spurious translation. The town is called Porthaethwy in Welsh and later acquired the name of the bridge as its English name. The bridge itself is called 'Pont y Borth' in Welsh. So Menai Bridge (Porthaethwy) is the urban district; Menai Bridge (Pont y Borth) is the bridge.
