By the way, if you are wondering where the Bluetooth name originally carne from, it is named after a Danish Viking and King, Harald Blaatand (translated as Bluetooth in Englishl. who lived in the latter part of the 10[th] century. Harald Blaatand united and controlled Denmark and Norway (hence the inspiration on the name: uniting devices through Bluetooth). He got his name from his very dark hair which was unusual for Vikings, Blaatand means dark complexion.

A:A Viking pirate in the 10[th] century. B:The king of Denmark for most part of the 10[th] century. C:The king ruling Denmark for the latter part of the 10th century. D:A typical Viking who had very dark hair.
