Well, that really depends on what you mean. The word "Viking" derives from the Old Norse word Vikingr meaning a raid or expedition. Let it be said that Scandinavians called themselves Nordrmen, or North men. So if you mean did the Vikings call themselves Vikings, then no, they didn't. However, if you look at the meaning of Viking, you can see from the definition that a good deal of Scandinavians went "a'viking" and therefor many a Scandinavian was a Viking. Also, just in case you are wondering, the Scandinavian people did NOT arise from Slavic stock. They were led from Israel up through modern day Kazakhstan around the Caspian Sea, up through modern day Russia, where they split up around Rostov. One group went up through modern day Poland and made it to Germany and Denmark. This group became the Germans. The other group kept going up through Russia, moved through Finland and settled on the border of Norway and Sweden.
