The first Normans were called "Northmen" because they originated from the Norsemen, or Viking seafarers, who settled in the region of what is now Normandy in France. The term reflects their Scandinavian roots, as they were primarily from present-day Norway and Denmark. In the 9th and 10th centuries, these Northmen began to assimilate with the local Frankish population, adopting the French Language and Culture while retaining some of their Norse traditions. This blending ultimately led to the emergence of the Norman identity.
