The commonly used term, Viking, for the trading and raiding peoples of Scandinavia, may have originated from Viken the large bay leading to Oslo , or it may have come from the Old Scandinavian words vikingr sea warrior or viking expedition over the sea. The people from the north were known in Western Europe at the time as Northmen or Danes, in England as Danes or pagans, and in Ireland as Finngall for those of Norwegian origin and Dubgall for those from Denmark.

In the east, in Russia and in the Byzantine Empire, the Scandinavians were called Vaeringar or Varyags Varangians or Rus', the latter perhaps derived from the name Roslagen, a province in Uppland in Sweden.
