The Anglo-Saxons referred to the Norse seafarers as "Vikings" due to their raids and settlements that began in the late 8th century. The term "Viking" originally described the act of going on expeditions or raiding, derived from the Old Norse word "vikingr." Anglo-Saxon chronicles and records, such as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, documented these incursions, leading to the widespread use of the term to identify these Norse warriors. Over time, the term came to encompass the broader Norse culture associated with these seafaring activities.
