Scout.com: History: About The Vikings (3316 words)
When Bert Rose was elected as General Manager of the Minnesota Vikings in 1961, one of the first steps he took was to recommend to the Board of Directors that the club be nicknamed the "Vikings." He said a nickname should serve a dual purpose.
Their expression for this type of warfare was to "go a-viking." Vik in Norse means "harbor" or "bay." The Vikings came to be the most feared raiders of their time and were the only Norsemen with whom most Europeans came in contact.
The Vikings probably were descended from blue-eyed and blond invaders from the south of Scandinavia.
