The [[Codexian]] name "Norvian" comes from the Marenian name '''Nordven''', in the modern Fortunan language spelled '''Nordviano''', and roughly translates to "Northern sailor". Early Norvians did not refer to themselves as such until the around 100 BCE based on the titles given to them by southern Marenian groups and Novarian natives. Codexian speakers would adopt a similar name entering into the Common Era for the Marenian-speaking raiders, solidifying the name "Norvian" as the Codex Empire formed and grew into strength. |
