# Vikingr
was just an old Danish word for 'one who comes from the fjords' and or 'people of the sea' and funnily enough only started to be used by English writers in the 1800's because there was no previous word for the Scandinavian pirates.

My ancestry is split between the southern Danish of Angle and the Northern Danes who were more the Viking type.

# That's interesting
I hadn't heard that before.

I was just quoting from a t-shirt.
