I think Viking is a Danish word. I used the website linked below and translated the sentence "Viking raiders sailed the sea" and they said it was "Viking indfald afsejlede den hav"

∙ 14y agoThe word Viking originates from the Old Norse word víkingr.
Víkingr; from Old Norse vík (bay, inlet, fjord) + -ingr ("one belonging to")
"One belonging to"; In modern Icelandic the suffix -ingur cognates with the Norse -ingr. So, a person from the town Akureyri would be called Akureyringur; one belonging to Akureyri.
(Maybe comparable with English -er; a New Yorker; one belonging to New York, a person from New York.)
So, vík (bay, inlet) + -one belonging to = Bayer ?
A person from the bay, the sea's inlets, a fjord. A person living by the sea.
Note that the last three lines (excluding this one) may be incorrect.
