Etymonline
Word Origin & History
Norse
1598, from obsolete Du. Noorsch (adj.) "Norwegian," from noordsch "northern, nordic," from noord "north" (see north). Also in some cases borrowed from cognate Dan. or Norw. norsk. An O.E. word for "a Norwegian" was Norðman, cource of O.Fr. Normand (cf. Normandy, "region
EXPANDsettled by Vikings," see Norman). Norseman (1817) is not historical and appears to be due to Scott.
