No, Norman, Oklahoma is named after a Norman. The Normans invaded England in 1066 and were originally vikings from Scandinavia. Norman Oklahoma was first surveyed by land surveyor Abner Norman in the 1800s. 1066 is said to be the end of the Viking Era. So Norman, Oklahoma is not named after a viking, but after a Norman, Abner Norman.
