Король Харальд і назва Bluetooth
Yes. Intel engineer Jim Kardach proposed Bluetooth as a temporary code name, referring to Danish king Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson. The analogy was that Harald united groups, while the new standard would unite different wireless systems. The logo is a modern bind rune combining the Younger Futhark characters Hagall (ᚼ) and Bjarkan (ᛒ), the initials of Harald Bluetooth. It is a contemporary brand mark, not an ancient Viking symbol found on a runestone. The historical extent of Harald’s political unification is more complex than the company’s short origin story suggests.
Illustration: a conceptual runestone and radio waves, not a reproduction of the Bluetooth logo.
