There is an old norse place-name, "sudrlandi" or something similar
that means "the southern part of the land", either in Norway or Iceland.
In Norway there is {O/}stfold and Vestfold on the east and west side of
the Oslo fiord respectively, so Sudfold could be a reasonable construct.
The southern part of Gotland is called Sudret, "the south", to this day.
