Er, no. There's a diocese of Sodor and Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_Sodor_and_Man), and that's where Awdry got the name from. The Isle of Man you'll be familiar with. IRL, Sodor is the the Hebrides, Suðreyjar in Norse, Southern Isles in English. The Northern Isles are Orkney and Shetland.
