Hjelmeland og Fister

Hjelmeland og Fister is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway.

On 6 March 1869, a small area of Årdal municipality (population: 40) was transferred to Hjelmeland og Fister.

Today the farm is a part of the Hjelmelandsvågen urban area.

The name probably comes from the word fístr which means "windy" or "hardy".

It is probably related to the verb fise which means "to pass gas".
