Norse is a term used to coin the predominant culture, language and mythology of Scandinavians in pre-Christian times. This period of Norse culture largely coincides with the Viking era, when Scandinavians excelled in ship building and both raided and traded in Europe by help of their innovative and superior longship technology. The name "Viking" has several interpretations, but most probably it´s connected to the Norse (and also modern Norwegian) word "Vik" which means "bay" or "fjord". When travelling by ship to Europe and elsewhere, men went into "Viking". So originally "Viking" is an act, not the name of a people - only men who travelled by ship did Viking.
