It's named after one of the first Kings in Europe to use diplomacy between warring Kingdoms; Harold Bluetooh (which means Blue Tooth) of Denmark in the 10th century. The creators of the technology thought it was a good name because they wanted bluetooth to be used for different kinds of electronic equipment to work together.

The name Bluetooth was born from the 10th century king of Denmark, King Harald Bluetooth (whose surname is sometimes written as Bluetooh), who engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other. The inventors of the Bluetooth technology thought this a fitting name for their technology, which allowed different devices to talk to each other.[1]. The name of the king in Danish was Harald Blåtand and the Bluetooth logo is based on the H and B runes.
