The interesting story behind the Bluetooth logo, which combines history and Nordic symbolism. 🤯
Few know this, but the symbol that connects your phone and headphones was born over a thousand years ago, during the Viking era. 😱
Its name comes from Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson, the Danish king of the 10th century who unified Denmark and Norway under one crown. His nickname, “Blue Tooth,” appears in medieval chronicles and would refer to a very dark or bluish tooth, perhaps due to an infection or simply natural coloration.
The emblem of the technology is not a coincidence: the Bluetooth logo combines two ancient Nordic runes, ᚼ (Hagall = H) and ᛒ (Bjarkan = B), the initials of Harald Bluetooth, intertwined as a single figure.
Thus, every time you activate Bluetooth on your device, you are using a Viking symbol that represents exactly what that king achieved centuries ago: uniting what was separated. ⚡️🌍
