  • Norsemen is used to refer to the group of people as a whole who speak one of the North Germanic languages as their native language. ("Norse", in particular, refers to the Old Norse language belonging to the North Germanic branch of Indo-European languages, especially Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish and Danish in their earlier forms. ) The meaning of Norseman was "people from the North" and was applied primarily to Nordic people originating from southern and central Scandinavia. They established states and settlements in areas which today are part of the Faroe Islands, England, Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Finland, Ireland, Russia, Italy, Canada, Greenland, France, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Germany. Norse and Norsemen are applied to the Scandinavian population of the period from the late 8th century to the 11th century. The term "Normans" was later primarily associated with the people of Norse origin in Normandy, France, assimilated into French culture and language. The term Norse-Gaels was used concerning the people of Norse descent in Ireland and Scotland, who assimilated into the Gaelic culture. Vikings has been a common term for Norsemen in the early medieval period, especially in connection with raids and monastic plundering made by Norsemen in Great Britain and Ireland. Northmen was famously used in the prayer A furore normannorum libera nos domine ("From the fury of the Northmen deliver us, O Lord!"), doubtfully attributed to monks of the English monasteries plundered by Viking raids in the 8th and 9th centuries.
  • Norsemen o Northmen ("uomini del nord") sono nomi usati per un gruppo di individui parlanti una lingua germanica del nord come loro idioma nativo. Il termine norse (cioè norreno) si riferisce in particolare al norreno (che apparteneva alle lingue indoeuropee) e che comprendeva il danese, lo svedese, l'islandese e il norvegese nelle loro forme più antiche. Il termine Norsemen (o Northmen) fu utilizzato all'inizio per caratterizzare i popoli della Scandinavia centro-meridionale, che poi crearono stati e insediamenti nelle Isole Fær Øer, nel Regno Unito, in Irlanda, in Islanda, in Finlandia, in Russia, in Italia, in Canada, in Groenlandia, in Francia, in Ucraina, in Estonia, in Lettonia e in Germania. Tra VIII e XI secolo, questi termini furono usati per indicare i popoli di tutta la penisola scandinava. Furono comunque usati per indicare i vichinghi e divennero famosi grazie alla preghiera attribuita, anche se con alcune incertezze, ai monaci dei monasteri depredati dai raziatori vichinghi nei secoli VIII e IX, che recitava: "Dio ci salvi dal furore normanno". I Northmen erano anche conosciuti come Ascomanni dai germani (nome forse derivante dal loro mitico antenato Askr). Erano invece chiamati Lochlanach in irlandese, mentre gli anglosassoni utilizzavano il termine Dene. Gli slavi, i bizantini e gli arabi li chiamavano Rus' o Rhos, che forse derivava da roþs- o dall'area di Roslagen, da dove molti Norsmen o Northmen giunsero nelle terre degli slavi. Archeologi e storici sono oggi convinti che gli insediamenti scandinavi nelle terre degli slavi portarono alla formazione dei nomi di Russia e Bielorussia. Gli slavi e i bizantini chiamavono queste genti anche col nome di variaghi (uomini giurati): col nome di guardia variaga si indicava il nome dei soldati della guardia del corpo degli imperatori bizantini). Northmen o Nordmenn è uno dei termini con cui oggi sono conosciuti i norvegesi.
  • ノース人(Norsemen、Norse)とは、北欧全体に広がった古代スカンジナビアの人々(主にノルウェー人)で、ヴァイキングにも含まれる。ノルマン人とも呼ばれる。スヴェア人(主にスウェーデン人)とは呼び名で区別されることもあるが、人種的にその境界線はないといっていい。 ノース人という名称の由来は「北方からやってきた人々(people from the North)」で、彼らはフィンランドをはじめ、西はカナダやグリーンランド、東はウクライナやエストニアにまで進出し、各地でノース人の国を作った。特にスコットランドに渡ったノース人はケルト系民族と混合して、独自の氏族社会をつくった。 ノース人は北ゲルマン語群の古ノルド語を使っていたと考えられている。古ノルド語は、のちにデンマーク語やアイスランド語、ノルウェー語に変化をとげることになる。
  • Nordmän, fornnordiska norrœna menn, latin normanni, engelska norsemen, kallas de nordgermanska folken i Norden, det vill säga svenskar, danskar, norrmän, islänningar och färöingar, under vikingatiden och dessförinnan. Idag har nordmän ofta kommit att felaktigt ersättas av ordet viking som bara betecknade dåtidens sjörövare och ledungsmän. Endast fåtalet nordmän var vad samtiden betecknade som vikingar. Den övervägande delen av befolkningen var i stället jordbrukare och trälar. Några få var handelsmän, krigare och kolonisatörer.
