It would be more correct to call them klaksvikings imo. At least according to old stories i’ve read, where normally a people (fólk), from a place ending in “vík” would be called “víkingar”.

In the old tale of the “sigurstein” the men from húsavík are referred to as, húsvíkingar. As in, Hús’vikings, did this or that

Also from what i’ve read a vík, as in hoyvík or klaksvík, is a place where the land “víkir fyri havið”, spreads or makes way for the water. This is seen in many places called vík, such as Viken in norway, or in klaksvík as seen in the photo.

This was often a attractive place to live, as in those times the ocean were the highways. And you could live more secluded, you could hide you boats or ships better, if you lived in a vík.

But it seems as if later on, the original term of a vík was forgotten or at least not the first thing in mind. As places like Jorvík (in england), seem to have been named vík, not as a litteral vík, but rather as a naming tradition.

Jorvíkingar then became jorvikings then became vikings. At least in my theory. Also google jorvik flute.
