The English often referred to the Vikings as "Danes" during the early medieval period, particularly because many of the raiders and settlers originated from Denmark. In a broader sense, they were also called "Norsemen," which means "men from the North," encompassing those from various Scandinavian countries, including Norway and Sweden. The term "Viking" itself specifically refers to their seafaring and raiding activities rather than a distinct ethnic group.
