There is an excellent (IMHO) one-hour British Museum lecture online on YouTube by Prof. Neil Price, under the working title Vikings: A New History. In it, Price sets out to try to understand how the group known as Vikings saw themselves. Among other things, he says 'Viking' was 'a kind of job description' among the people who more often called themselves 'Northerners' – though also Vikingr.
Price is the author of The Children of Ash and Elm (pb 2022), about the Vikings. NOT a book for children, title refers to Viking origins myth.
I can't attach a link because the one I used was for BM Friends. Looking for a more general one, I see Price has loads on YouTube. He is Professor of Archeology at Uppsala University.
