In reply to Michael. I don't know about that, I mean wouldn't it then make sense for it to be something like Wurden-Koenig as king in German is not the English word for "king" and "we're" is not Vi.. this is obviously modern German but still. I feel like some rules in the language would remain unchanged.

The first mention of the person Thor was in the 7th century AD, after the genocide of the Viking people. It was at that time Thor introduced a small hammer as a weapon, that he called “judgement” from God.” That is why the hammer is called molnija, meaning ‘lightning.’ In the bible the parabolic meaning for the word “Lightning” is “Judgement.” The unknown person said he was a “Son of Thunder,” so the people called him “Thor / Thunder.” The parabolic meaning for the word “Thunder” in the bible is “Action.”

Thor is associated with an Eagle, and one of the four Cherub’s before the throne of God. That is why you would see four Eagles on a Viking shield.

Mark 3:17
James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”),

Ezekiel 1:10 – 14.

Lightning=Judgement
Thunder= Action

When the Norsemen were invaded by the Roman Catholic soldiers, they asked the people who their king was, and they replied “Viking,” which means; “We’re King. “Vi” in German means, “we’re.” (We are king.)

We’re
contraction
pronoun: we’re (we are.)

The English term “king” is derived from the Anglo-Saxon cyning. Evidence suggests a 17th-century origin.

I think you have missed the “root” of “Viking” but the prefix “vik”
{Vik (disambiguation) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia}
Vik (Old Norse: vík) means wick or bay in Norwegian and Swedish (vig in Danish), and it may refer to the following:….
Take a close look at maps of Denmark, Sweden and Norway and there are a number of towns, some not on the sea like Rattvik on Lake Siljen in Sweden where the name Viking probably originated…i.e. people who came from fjords or bays. It was my first feeling about the word as I traveled extensively in Scandinavia over the years.
