While Tacitus called it Mare Suebicum after the Germanic people of the Suebi, the first to name it also as the Baltic Sea ( Mare Balticum ) was eleventh century German chronicler Adam of Bremen.
Furthermore Adam of Bremen himself compared the Sea with a belt stating that the Sea is named so because it stretches through the land as a belt ( Balticus, eo quod in modum baltei longo tractu per Scithicas regiones tendatur usque in Greciam ).
Adam of Bremen was the first writer to use the term Baltic in its modern sense to mean the sea of that name.
No texts survive from this area, though the written text Vita Ansgari (" The life of Ansgar ") by Rimbert ( c. 865 ) describes the missionary work of Ansgar around 830 at Birka, and Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum ( Deeds of Bishops of the Hamburg Church ) by Adam of Bremen in 1075 describes the archbishop Unni, who died at Birka in 936.
This might mean that he sailed off from Hamburg or Bremen instead of some port in Baltic Sea, since the later account by Adam of Bremen gives the distance of Scania and Birka to be only 5 days at sea.
In Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum ( Deeds of Bishops of the Hamburg Church ), Adam of Bremen mentions Birka many times, and the book is the main source of information on the city.
As Adalvard was back in Bremen already by 1069 and is mentioned as one of Adam's sources of information, it would have been expected that word about Birka's destruction had reached also Adam before he published his work half a decade later.
