There is no arguing that Bluetooth is one of the most brilliant technologies of the day, a technology that has made life so much easier. But have you ever asked yourself where the term Bluetooth originated from?
Turns out the moniker was the name of a Danish king who lived a long time ago. Legend has it that Danish Viking Harald Blatand had this special gift of bringing people together and promoting communication. At one time, he even united Denmark and Norway into one territory.
You get where this story is heading, right? Bluetooth is meant to connect people and give them a way they can communicate easily, seamlessly even. Thus, the name was coined by Sweden’s telecommunication company, Ericsson’s Viking heritage. And what a better person to borrow the name from than Blatand? Blatand translated to English is Bluetooth. There you have it.
