The Old Norse feminine noun víking refers to an expedition overseas. It occurs in Viking Age runic inscriptions and in later medieval writings in set expressions such as the phrasal verb fara í víking "to go on an expedition". In later texts such as the Icelandic sagas, the phrase "to go viking" implies participation in raiding activity or piracy, and not simply seaborne missions of trade and commerce. The related Old Norse masculine noun víkingr appears in Viking Age skaldic poetry and on several rune stones found in Scandinavia, where it refers to a seaman or warrior who takes part in an expedition overseas.

Not much. The Viking influence was most felt in northern England whereas the English we speak today is the English of southern England. The dialects of Yorkshire and Northumberland use many Viking words not used in the south such as fell (hill) , beck (brook). The name of York itself is from the Viking word Yorvik.
In Old Norse, the name Soren means "severe". Also, it is a minor swear word similar to "heck". A popular name in Denmark, even though the word soren is a euphemism for Satan.
