Normandie or Normandy?

There's two spellings...why? I've seen both used in the same paragragh! Is there a difference? Which is more popular in France? What was the point of having two spellings???
Additional Details
No, I'm not writing a report, I'm just generally interested (going there this summer). Plus, it's just a bit confusing...that paragraph was written by a French person so yeah.

We never ever use "Normandy" in French, only Normandie.
Normandy is the english spelling.

Normandy is more English.

Always wondered why they have duplicate spellings for certain words. Many english words come from Latin origins and you can see great examples from the english language. Why?...Are you trying to write a report or something?

"Normandie" is the French spelling. "Normandy" is the English.

I belive Normady is English and Normandie is French

It is very important to be consistent, but both are correct spellings. They are variations of the same thing.
