Doubtfully. i see it as incredibly unlikely that the vikings gave themsaelves a name that consisted of modern day english (KING)and a number written in a foregin language (LATIN/ROMAN-VI), not widely spoken in scandanavia at the time of the vikings. Again, probably not.

i dont think so, buts thats kinda cool, i never noticed that b4

It COULD... but it doesn't. I like your thinkin', but.

i really doubt it because the norse, more commonly known as the vikings, held the runes, their written language, in such high regard that to use another language would have been akin to a christian worshipping satan at church on sunday morning. the runes were considered sacred and even magical. other languages were deemed inferior.

I have seen this also: that the viking tribes are descendants of the DAN as in DENMARK from the early hebrew tribes of ISRAEL: search TOP SECRET MANKIND on youtube; episode 9 I think

Do Some research, you'll be surprised with what you find.

It could, but only in a riddle. All explanations base on the fact that the stem is "vik" and "ing" is a suffix. The Latin pronunciation of "VI" is sex. Here some theories about the origin: 1) "In Old Norse, the word is spelled víkingr, "a man from the vik". Viken was the old name of the region bordering on the Skagerrak, from where the first Norse merchant-warriors originated. The Swedish county bordering on the Skagerrak, which is now called Bohuslän, was, prior to the construction of the Bohus fortress, also called Vikland. Vikland was once a part of the Norse district of Viken. Later on, the term, Viking, became synonymous with "naval expedition" or "naval raid", and a víking was a member of such expeditions. A second etymology suggested that the term is derived from Old English, wíc, ie. "trading city" (cognate to Latin vicus, "village"). Etymologists trace the word to Anglo-Frankish writers, who referred to "víkingr" as one who set about to raid and pillage, as in the saga of Egil Skallagrimsson. In current Scandinavian languages, the term Viking is applied to the people who went away on Viking expeditions, be it for raiding or trading. In English and many other languages, Viking might refer to the Viking Age Scandinavians in general. The pre-Christian Scandinavian population is also referred to as Norse, although that term is properly applied to the whole civilization of Old-Norse-speaking people. The word Viking appears on several rune stones found in Scandinavia. In the Icelanders' sagas, víking refers to an overseas expedition (Old Norse fara í víking "to go on an expedition"), and víkingr, to a seaman or warrior taking part in such an expedition." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking#Etymology 2) "The time measure "uge" (week) has the same origin as the old sea measure "uge soes". Both have the Old Norse stem "vika" (Old Germanic "vicu"), possibly of Latin origin. The word has had the meaning "shift" or "turn". The seven days of the time measure "week" has its origin in the Middle East and it is assumed that the seven days reflects the four moon phases. This is probably true, but the Germanic name for this time measure is different from the Latin, which usually is the pattern. In Latin languages the name of this time measure is actually "seven days", not "shift"! Therefore I mean that it is disputable whether "week" (Old Norse "vika") stands for the astronomic shift. It might simply stand for the visual break or "turn" of the first wooden calendar sticks. In Swedish "fold" is "vika", one "viker" a sheet of paper. In the same way, it is possible that one after having carved the seventh notch turned the calendar stick in order to get a better overview of a longer period of time!"

Yes of course. The Vikings, 700's, did not call themselves the "Vikings"........... ..only those that speak/use/write/ English call them "Vikings". English is a language that was consolidated by William Shakespeare/Sir Francis Bacon.............1600's. The Vikings or 6 Kings come from the Hyksos.....or 6 Kings..........That is why the Snake/Dragon (Tribe of Dan) ships of the Vikings had 6 vertical red stripes (or bloodlines) in their sails, to symbolize their 6 Kings. It is said that their 6 Kings were buried standing in 6 vertical shafts with their armor and jewels and gold. [That is also why the U.S. Flag has 13 stripes...it is the inversion of the Viking Sail.] It is known that the Vikings served as mighty military men in Byzantinium...and the Rus...and the Avars. It is said the Hyksos brought advanced martial skills with them to Avaris. As Words Matter....... AmericAWordsMatter.com I have done 7 years of research. I have connected the dots to many issues. Including what is presently happening in North America and in Gaza/ Israel/ Syria/ Iraq/ Iran/ China. You will be surprised to learn what history REALLY looks like. p.s. It looks like my word-of-mouth is starting to get around. This question is due to this information that I have been telling people on an individual basis.

check out "empire of the city" on google, it explains this stuff in great detail. they named themselves the 6 kings after the 6 hebrew pharaohs of egypt who had once ruled egypt. they conquered britain and crowned king canute king of england in 1016 AD, and they've remained in power through inbreeding, just like their egytian pharaoh ancestors, and their israelite ancestors, did. why does the queen have the hebrew stone of jacob under her throne chair? why is she crowned on a symbolic pyramid? the list goes on.

I think it's rather difficult that they'd have named themselves after an english word, the VI=six is OK, but the word King I don't think it's likely. But what makes me think that way is the dates that don't relate well to the facts. I've seen that "Empire of the City" documentary, too. Thtat Viking reference was what made feel like 'well, they are using the advantage that I'm already into this kind of stuff to see if I will believe in one or two inveridic things'. Actually, as it must be obvious, that's how I found you guys.
