The Normans were called the Normans because they originated from the region known as Normandy in northern France. This area was granted to Viking leader Rollo in the early 10th century, who settled there with his followers after accepting Frankish king Charles the Simple's offer to defend against further Viking raids. Over time, these Norse settlers assimilated with the local Frankish culture, adopting the French language and customs, which led to their identification as Normans, derived from "Northmen."
The Normans, led by William the Conqueror, invaded England in 1066, resulting in significant political and social changes. They established feudalism, redistributing land to Norman lords and altering the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy. The introduction of the Norman language influenced the English language, contributing to its evolution. Additionally, the Normans built iconic structures like castles and cathedrals, shaping the architectural landscape of England.
Yes, it was 1066 when Duke William of Normandy successfully invaded. The Normans had, however, been exercising power by marrying into the English royal family at various points and there were many Normans at the English court. Given that the Normans were descended from Vikings who settled in Northern France and most of the English nobility then were also partly descended from Vikings, culturally and racially they had much in common, but there was a language difference.

Collective nouns are used to group two or more people or things in a descriptive way. The singular noun 'Norman' is not a group.However, if there are two or more 'Normans', a collective noun can be used. Since collective nouns are an informal part of language, any noun that suits the circumstances can function as a collective noun; for example, a pair of Normans, a duo of Normans, a trio of Normans, etc. Or, if you are speaking of France a thousand years ago, a horde of Normans.
