Made a list of cultural province names which might hopefully be considered for this mod of Norwegian province names. Modern Norwegian has significant differences compared to the West Norse language spoken around this period. For example it was much more intelligible with Icelandic and less so with Swedish and Danish, but today it is the reverse. After the Black Death and the Danish union period the Norwegian language went through significant transformation, being principally influenced by the Danish language.

A lot of the names are from Old Norse texts with slight alterations in spellings here and there to accomodate the changes the language was going through this period. But a fair few of the names I have tried to construct myself just to add more flavour.

Additionally this might be a good thread for others to use to suggest cultural names other cultures as well :)
