Where did the name "Bluetooth" come from?
A. An electric eel with blue teeth
B. A medieval Scandinavian king
C. A Native American chieftain
D. A bear that loved blueberries
B. A medieval Scandinavian king
The name "Bluetooth" originated from a medieval Scandinavian king named Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson. King Harald ruled over a unified Denmark and parts of Norway in the 10th century. The technology's name was inspired by his efforts to unite different tribes and regions, much like how Bluetooth technology was designed to unite different communication devices through a standardized wireless protocol. The inventors of Bluetooth, specifically Jim Kardach from Intel, chose this historical reference as the code name during the development of the technology, and it eventually became the official name.
