 Counties of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a list of the Norwegian counties as they have been since 1919, with their current administrative centres.
The county numbers are from the official numbering system ISO 3166-2:NO, which follows the coastline from the Swedish border in the southeast to the Russian border in the northeast.
During King Sverre's reign (1184-1202) the hereditary chieftains (in Norwegian herser) were replaced by lendermænd, who were appointed by the king, but exercised the same power (and in many instances were originally from the old aristocracy).

These were later broken up, with several other counties, into unitary authorities, unifying the county and district/borough levels of government.
The list of England's largest cities is much debated because in British English the normal meaning of city is "a continuously built-up urban area"; these are hard to define and various other definitions are preferred by some people to boost the ranking of their own city.
Note that London is not on this list (Greater London is a region and the City of London is tiny), and that one of the two candidates for the status of England's "second city", Manchester, is down in sixth.

 NAHA // Norwegian-American Studies
The problem of the rural Norwegian immigrant, as has already been indicated, was not simply that of adjusting one name to the speech habits of a new country, but first and foremost that of changing his custom of naming -- to habituate himself to the use either of a farm name or of a patronymic.
When the Norwegian first arrived in America, he was usually known to the Yankee by his patronymic, seldom by his farm name, because the patronymic was, on the whole, easier for the Yankee to pronounce and often indeed was very similar to already existing Yankee names, such as Anderson and Johnson.
Although the Norwegians of the Koshkonong and Springdale settlements had to accustom themselves to either the patronymic or the farm name as a family name, their problem was still further complicated by the fact that, if they had sons, they had two patronymics in the same family.
