Etymology

The term 'Dane' originates from the Old Norse word 'Danir,' which referred to the people of Denmark. The identity of the Danes can be traced back to the Viking Age, when the area now known as Denmark was established as a kingdom. The Danes played a significant role in the history of Scandinavia and Europe, particularly during the Viking expansion in the 8th to 11th centuries. As seafarers and warriors, they traveled widely, influencing various cultures and establishing settlements in England, Ireland, and parts of mainland Europe. In modern times, the label 'Dane' is commonly used to denote individuals of Danish heritage or nationality, while also symbolizing the rich history and traditions of Denmark. The term has evolved to encompass both cultural and national identities associated with the Danish people.
