What is the name of the viking altherbet?

If by altherbet you mean alphabet, it was called the Futhark, or Futhorc, depending on the region and time period. It was composed of runes, primarily characters made of straight vertical and diagonal lines meant to be carved against the grain in wood. Just as the word "alphabet" comes from the first two letters of the character row (Alpha Beta), so does the name Futhark comes from the first few letters of the viking character row.
