Description
Viking Waterford - Vadre Fjord
The name Waterford is derived from an old Norse word Vedrarfjiordr that can be traced back to the late 9th century. Vedrarfjiordr is believed to be derived from either Fjord of the Rams, probably a reference to the export of sheep from the area, or more prosaically, from windy fjord. This latter meaning probably refers to Waterford as being a safe haven for Viking ships sheltering from a windy Irish Sea.
