there is a story behind it
The name Bluetooth is derived from the cognomen of a 11th century king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth. According to the inventors of the Bluetooth technology, Harald engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other, making Bluetooth a fitting name for their technology, which allows different devices to talk to each other

King Harald Bluetooth lived in Denmark between 910-940 AD, and was the son of Gorm. Contrary to popular opinion, Bluetooth or "Blåtand" as it was in old Viking language had nothing to do with a blue tooth. It means dark complexion – he had very dark hair, which was unusual for Vikings. The first concept of the technology that became Bluetooth was created in **** in Sweden 1994, that's why they chose a Viking king.

the bluetooth is called bluetooth because the device works or deals with the short range of waves . the short range waves are nothing but the blue ragion of the visible light .
so these transfer device tranfer data or any other information by the short range waves . it is named tooth because the device is tiny in shape

I guess it's just a catchy name. And maybe the device looks a little like a giant tooth.
