Which of the following words comes from the Viking language?

Correct Answer: Scunthorpe

Scunthorpe comes from the Old Norse (Viking) language. The suffix '-thorpe' means a farmstead or settlement in Old Norse, and place names ending in '-thorpe', '-by' (meaning village), and '-ness' (meaning headland) are scattered across northern and eastern England where the Vikings settled.

The Vikings (from Denmark and Norway) began raiding Britain in AD 789 and later established permanent settlements, particularly in an area known as the Danelaw.
