Tips

usage
维京 transliterates 'Viking' ( for 'Vi-', for '-king'); the 'person/people' suffix is what turns a place/identity name into the population. Same pattern as 罗马人 (Romans), 玛雅人 (Mayans).
culture
In contemporary Chinese pop culture, 维京人 is most associated with the History Channel series 《维京传奇》 (2013-2020) and films like 《维京人》 (The Northman, 2022). Older Chinese references sometimes used 北欧海盗 ('Northern European pirates').
