Japanese Translation. . .?

And please don't insult my intelligence and tell me to go to Google Translate. That doesn't work, I know for a fact. Basically, in a story I'm writing, there is an island in which the locals believe dragons live. I want to give it a Japanese name that means something along the lines of 'land belonging to the dragons' or 'dragon's island'. I don't understand enough about the Japanese language to know exactly how the grammar and such works, so I'll leave it to you to give me as close a translation as you can. If what you give me is a variant of what I want, that's fine. I just want authenticity. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my question and a special thank you to those who answer it.

    竜之島(Ryū no Shima), ドラゴンアイランド(Doragon Airando) or ドラゴン島 (Doragon Tou) will be fine.

    The way you would say dragon's island in Japanese is Shima no Ryu. Shima meaning Island no meaning of or either showing possession to any given object in the Japanese language and Ryu meaning dragon.
