What Is In A Name? (The History Of Bluetooth)

The word Bluetooth does not describe neither essence of technology nor something else Bluetooth was a nickname of the Danish King Harald Blatand - or Harold Bluetooth in English -severe Viking, lived in 10 century lie had been instrumental in uniting warring factions in parts of what is now Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This name was chosen as the name of technology because originally Bluetooth reflected as a means for connection of computers and telecommunication devices, like mobile telephones. In Jelling, Denmark a monument can be found in a church yard that celebrates both his achievements and those of his father the first king of Denmark "Gorrn the Old" It is interesting that this particular stone was lost for nearly six-hundred years after Harald had a small war with his own son, Sven Forkbeard, over control of the country Sven "won" the argument (exiling his father in the process), and since this runic stone also glorified Harald, Sven had it buried Only years later a fanner, curious about a large mound in his farm, rediscovered the stone.

The logo itself was originally designed by a Scandinavian firm at the time the trade association was announced to the public Keeping to the traditions of the name, the logo combines the runic alphabetic characters "H" which looks similar to an asterisk and a "B". Look carefully you can seen both represented in the logo.
