Is this a municipality or just another name for Hordaland?

Hi,
Sunnhordland is a region/district/landscape in Hordaland county.
The region consists of the 8 municipalities Austevoll, Bømlo, Etne, Fitjar, Kvinnherad, Stord, Sveio and Tysnes (all Hordaland), and part of Vindafjord municipality in Rogaland.

No problem...

Sunnhordland basically means "southern Hordaland", and as you can see from the map, it's the southern/western municipalities of Hordaland.
