Origin:
The name "Norman" originates from the Old Norse term "Norðmaðr," which means "Northman." It was initially used to refer to the inhabitants of the Scandinavian peninsula, particularly Norway.
During the 9th and 10th centuries, a group of Vikings from Normandy, a region in what is now France, began to raid and settle along the coast of northern France. They established a powerful duchy, known as the Duchy of Normandy.
Over time, the Norman conquerors adopted the language and customs of the local population, while their name "Norman" became associated with the region they controlled. The Normans played a significant role in the history of Western Europe, conquering England in 1066 and establishing a Norman dynasty that ruled England for over a century.
