No, the language of the Normans was Old Norman, a dialect of Old French. It evolved from the Old Norse language spoken by the Vikings who settled in the region, but it was heavily influenced by Latin and other Romance languages.


Where does welcome come from?

"Welcome" in modern-day English comes from the Old English word "wilcuma", which literally meant well-come (as in, may you have arrived here well). This in turn came from the Old Norse "velkominn", meaning the same thing (vel + kominn in Old Norse was "well + come"). Though Old English and Old Norse are Anglo-Saxon languages, the same sort of idea appears in the Romance languages as well. For example, in Spanish it is "bienvenido" (bien = well, venido = come), French "bienvenue" (bien+venue), Italian "benvenuto" (ben+venuto), all meaning "well come".
