The vikings were just a title or description used only for the people who went aviking. A farmer during the viking age was not a viking. He was a farmer. And most people during that time were farmers. a fletcher was a fletcher, a blacksmith a blacksmith, and if someone went aviking, they were a viking. To go aviking meant to go on raid expedition.

Vikings were of Scandinavian origins and the Scandinavians were collectively referred to as "normanni" (norsemen) by western chroniclers at the time. Eastern chroniclers called them "varangians". The scandinavians themselves were divided in many tribes. They collectively sometimes referred to themselves as "norroenir menn" (northern men).
