It borders the counties of Sør-Trøndelag, Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane. The county administration is located in the city of Molde, while Ålesund is the largest city. The county is governed by the Møre og Romsdal County Municipality which includes an elected county council and a county mayor. The national government is represented by the county governor (currently Lodve Solholm). ==Name== The name ''Møre og Romsdal'' was created in 1936. The first element refers to the districts of Nordmøre and Sunnmøre, and the last element refers to Romsdal. Until 1919, the county was called "Romsdalens amt", and from 1919-1935 "Møre fylke". For hundreds of years (1660-1919), the region was called ''Romsdalen amt'', after the Romsdalen valley in the present-day Rauma Municipality. The Old Norse form of the name was ''Raumsdalr''. The first element is the genitive case of a name ''Raumr'', probably the old (uncompounded) name of the Romsdalsfjord, again derived from the name of the river Rauma, i.e. "The Dale of Rauma". Since the majority of the residents of the county lived in the Sunnmøre region, there was some controversy over the name. In 1919, many of the old county names were changed and this county was renamed ''Møre fylke''. The name ''Møre'' was chosen to represent the region where the majority of the county residents lived. That name is old (Old Norse: ''Mœrr'') and it is probably derived from the word ''marr'' which means "ocean" or "sea". The meaning is then "coastal district". (There is also a coastal district in Sweden that has the same name: Möre.) The change in name from Romsdalen to Møre was controversial and it did not sit well with the residents of the Romsdal region. Finally in 1936, the name was changed again to a compromise name: Møre og Romsdal ((英語:Møre and Romsdal)). The ambiguous designation ''møring''—"person from Møre"—is used strictly about people from Nordmøre (and less frequently for people from Sunnmøre), excluding the people from Romsdal (while, consequently, ''romsdaling''—"person from Romsdal"— is used about the latter). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Møre og Romsdal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
