One of the most popular ideas about the origin of the term viking is,that it is derived from "vik" meaning inlet or bay and that its meaning is "pirates dwelling in the inlets". "Pirates from Viken" ("Viken" is an old name for the coast at the Oslo Fjord) is a development of this interpretation. There have also been suggestions that connect the word to the Old Saxon "Wik" ("place of trade"), an interpretation which is preferred by those, in the time of the reassessments, who think that the Vikings mainly were peaceful tradesmen.
