The Norwegians are descendants of Germanic tribes that settled in the area over 2,000 years ago. One of the most famous aspects of Norwegian history is the Viking Age, a period near the end of the 1st millennium when the Scandinavian peoples sailed west, raiding villages and creating new settlements as they went.
As typical residents of Scandinavia, modern Norwegians enjoy some of the highest standards of living within one of the most equal societies in the world. Norwegian names reflect both the tumultuous history and the human progress achieved by the country. There are also large Norwegian populations in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Brazil.
