Norweger

Norweger is the German demonym for a person from Norway. The feminine form is Norwegerin, and the plural forms are Norweger (used for groups including men or mixed gender) and Norwegerinnen for groups consisting only of women. The term is used to indicate nationality or ethnicity in German-language contexts.

The word derives from the country name Norway, in German Norwegen. It is used in everyday speech, journalism, and literature to refer to people from Norway. As a demonym, it denotes identity rather than a specific legal status such as citizenship, and its meaning is determined by context.

In modern usage, Norweger can refer to both contemporary Norwegians and people of Norwegian descent living abroad. The term appears in various domains, including travel writing, sports reporting, and cultural discussions, to identify individuals associated with Norway without implying any particular profession or role.
