And that distinctive Bluetooth logo? It’s formed from the runic symbols for Harald’s name. Harald had a prominent dead tooth – hence the nickname – and the unusual title for the new technology was suggested as it was intended to bring together mobile and fixed devices, just as he had united Denmark and Norway in the tenth century. ![]() Developed by mobile telecoms company Ericsson, Bluetooth was named after King Harald Gormsson, son of the splendidly name King Gorm the Old and father of the even more descriptively titled Sweyn Forkbeard.
