Jórvík: After the Romans left Britain in the 5th century, York was captured by the Angles and became the capital of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria. The city was known as Jórvík during this period, which translates to "boar farm" or "wild boar forest".
Eoforwic: During the 9th and 10th centuries, York was under the control of the Danish Vikings. They referred to the city as Eoforwic, which means "wild boar pasture".
York: The city's current name "York" is derived from the Old English word "Eoforwic". This name was adopted by the English after the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, when the Anglo-Saxons defeated the Norse invaders.
