What is the name of the hat which the Vikings wore with the horns ?

Horned helmets of Viking warriors are largely a myth. History and archeology do, however, suggest that Norse and earlier Germanic people used a horned helmet as a type of religious headdress.
In reading about these helmets, the most commonly used term seems to be "horned helmet".

Viking Helmets didn't have horns. That's a myth that began in the 1900's. However the vikings drank out of horns. The design was called Spangenhelm, which was literally fours sheets of metal that came to a tip at the top of the helm.

The vikings did not wear horned helmets. In combat, a horn could easily
be hit or grabbed, with an effect like face-masking in football. They did
sometimes wear wings on their helmets, however.

Viking Helmet.
That's how it's call nowadays.
Since it did not have a special name, it use to be just called as a simple helmet in those days and it did hot have horns.
