Adam of Bremen implies that the name contains Old Norse "vín" (cognate with Latin "vinum") "wine" (rendered as Old Saxon or Old High German "wīn"): "Moreover, he has also reported one island discovered by many in that ocean, which is called "Winland", for the reason that grapevines grow there by themselves, producing the best wine." This etymology is retained in the 13th-century "Grœnlendinga saga", which provides a circumstantial account of the discovery of Vinland and its being named from the "vínber", i.e. "wineberry", a term for grapes or currants (black or red), found there.
