Bluetooth was named after Harald Blatand (or Bluetooth), a tenth century Danish Viking king who had united and controlled large parts of Scandinavia which are today Denmark and Norway. The name was chosen to highlight the potential of the technology to unify the telecommunications and computing industries - although it was chosen as an internal codename, and it was never at the time expected to survive as the name used in the commercial arena - but that is another story... http://www.thewirelessdirectory.com/Bluetooth-Overview/Bluetooth-Overview.htm#Name
