According to the official Bluetooth brand, the name harks back over a thousand years to King Harald 'Bluetooth' Gormsson, famed for uniting Denmark and Norway in 958.
"Later, when it came time to select a serious name, Bluetooth was to be replaced with either RadioWire or PAN (Personal Area Networking).

A curious Reddit user posed the question: "What is Bluetooth and why it is called Bluetooth?".
