Bluetooth is named after King Harald Bluetooth who united Denmark and Norway. He had a dead tooth that was blue which is how he got his nickname. The bluetooth logo is made up of Harald's initials in Old Norse runic symbols https://i.imgur.com/iqpnQjR.png

And it is a Swedish innovation engineered by Ericsson in the 90s. Very interesting how Sweden was one of the biggest countries exporting new network communication back then
