​​The Bluetooth logo is a "bind rune" (a fusion of two or more runic letters) representing the equivalents of the letters "h" and "b". These are the initials of Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, a 10th-century Danish king who is the technology's namesake. As one of King Harald's achievements was unifying the countries of Denmark and Norway, the developer of Bluetooth protocols felt he would make an apt emblem for a system that unifies computers, mobile devices, and other technology.
