Old Norse Names
The Norse came from Norway, raiding and trading much of northern Britain. Many settled in islands of Scotland, and their language persisted in Scotland beyond the 17th century. Related Names include Old Danish and Medieval Scottish.
Vikings include Old Danish and Old Norse, and used patronyms (-son) and matronyms (-dóttir or -sdóttir). Bynames were often added, occasionally replacing them.
Use simple Viking Nickname Generator below to make your own bynames. Or there are simple nicknames and Epithets (Ari the Crow).
For more names there is an Fantasy British Character Names generator at Chaos Gen. There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as British Fantasy Names.
