This runestone is generally claimed to be the source of the Old Norse word "vikingr" which was first mentioned in the 1801 "The History of the Anglo-Saxons" by English historian Sharon H. Turner and repeated ever since.

• The name by which the pirates were at first distinguished was Vikingr, which perhaps originally meant kings of the bays. It was in bays that they ambushed, to dart upon the passing voyager. [ Turner, https://archive.org/details/historyanglosax03turngoog ] 

But the word "Viking" actually comes from the Old English wicing and Old Frisian wizing  appearing almost 300 years earlier. It derives from wic "village, camp" (large temporary camps were a feature of the Viking raids), related to Latin vicus "village, habitation" seen at the end of city names as "wick."
