Question: what does nord mean in sons of anarchy

title: Ernest Darby
text: After Josh Kohn , a rogue ATF agent , sent him information on IRA and SOA weapon deals , he called another meeting with Álvarez . He told him to kill Clay Morrow and afterwords , the Nords could take Charming and the Mayans could take over the gun business . Marcus then told his son , Esai , to kill both Morrow and Darby . Later , when Clay was making a deal with the IRA at a bar , the Mayans attacked but were killed before they could get to him . They simultaneously assaulted Darby 's home , but also failed to kill him . They broke in and shot a Nord footsoldier and two women , but Darby hid and escaped death .
