This name comes from Prussia, there were trading colonies of Truses (perhaps the Slavic word "coward" - "trus" comes from here).
This refers to the Viking period (not to be confused with the ancient Scandinavians). The word Viking means a Prussian official, they were the servants of the Teutonic Knights. The very word comes from here:
"
An emporium (plural: emporia) was one of the trading settlements that emerged in Northwestern Europe in the 6th to the 7th centuries and persisted into the 9th century. Also known in English as wics, they were characterised by their peripheral locations, usually on the shore at the edge of a kingdom, their lack of infrastructure (containing no churches) and their short-lived nature.
