The wireless technology "bluetooth" is named after the Harald I of Denmark, whose nickname is "Bluetooth" (bluetooth is an English version for Danish "Blåtand", and "blátǫnn" in Old Norse). Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson ruled Denmark between 940 and 985 AD, and he united Denmark and Norway, therefore setting the foundation of Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of the early 11th century (his son Sweyn Forkbeard would become the king of Denmark, Norway and England).
The idea was Bluetooth technology will unite the worlds of computers and telecom, as the King Harald I had united the Scandinavia. It was created by the Swedish giant Ericsson in 1994.
The Bluetooth logo is a "bind rune" of 
(Hagall) and 
(Bjarkan), which are runic alphabets of the Younger Futhark (shown below). The latin equivalent alphabets are "H" and "B".
