Clarification please. Is Norland and Nordland the same fig?

I have noticed some people use "Nordland", while others use "Norland" to describe a cold hardy fig. Are they the same with just different spellings, or different all together?

(I swear I did a search for this but could not find an answer)

I saw this too!  I think (but someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Norland is a typo that has been propagated around the forum a bit.  I've also seen "Northland" which appears to an anglicized version of Nordland.  My guess is that these label all really mean "Nordland".

The word "Nordland" is german. It means "northland" or "northern country" in english. So I would say that I is a synonymous for a cold hardy variety which can withstand a colder climate.

The correct spelling is Nordland. I may have made a mistake myself in the past with it.
