Wikipedia page about Scandanavians
The vast majority of the human population of Scandinavia are Scandinavians. They are descended from several (North) Germanic tribes who originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia and what is now northern Germany, who spoke a Germanic language that evolved into Old Norse and who were known as Norsemen in the Early Middle Ages.
The Vikings are popularly associated with Norse culture. The Icelanders and the Faroese people are to a significant extent, but not exclusively, descended from peoples retrospectively known as Scandinavians. The origin of Finns is somewhat debated, the closest genetic relatives for Finns are Estonians and Swedes. The extreme north of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, as well as the most North-Western part of Russia, is home to a minority of Sami people.
