Russian city Murmansk and 'northman' are very likely related.

Murmansk is called as such as it is located on the Murman coast.

Murman was a term used in Old Russian to refer to Nordic people, especially from current-Norway, that used to navigate and sometimes land in the region.

It is very-likely related to the Norse word norðmaðr that is itself related to English northman through Old English norþmann.

For more info, from Kola Land: Essays on the History of the Murmansk Region in the Pre-October Period by I.F. Ushakov, 1972, page 25 (can't attach the link as it is not secured but you can search it up).

The Russians called the Norwegians by the name given to them in ancient times: "Normans" ("northern people"). The Norwegians themselves pronounced the word "Norman" somewhat differently, namely "Nurman." In Russian pronunciation, this self-designation became "Murman" (or "Urman," the name given to the Norwegians in the ancient Russian chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years").

Listing the inhabitants of the Far North, the monks of the Solovetsky Monastery in the 15th century wrote: “The inhabitants... are the Lopians, and further away are the Kayans and Murmans...” that is, the Sami, Finns, and Norwegians (accents are in the original).

The name of the northern coast of the Kola Peninsula undoubtedly originated from "Murman." When the Russian Pomors, having passed the White Sea's throat, sailed west, they said they were heading to the "Murmansk end" or "Murmansk side." The Pomors called the Barents Sea "Murmansk," since the route along it led to the land of the "Murman." Similarly, the entire coast west of Svyatoy Nos received the name "Murmansk," even though the "Murmans" never lived there
