Bluetooth technology was named after a Viking king by the name of Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson who died over 1,000 years ago. He unified factions of Denmark with those in Norway much like how the technology we use today unifies different electronic devices. The Bluetooth logo is also a combination of the Nordic runes for his initials—H.B. As for how he got his nickname in the first place is up to debate. "Bluetooth" could have been the name of the king's sword, a well-forged weapon with a blued blade. The word "tooth"(tand) appears among several named swords from the Viking Age.
