The term "Bluetooth" is named after a Danish King

The answer is True.

Explanation

It is named after Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, a 10th-century King of Denmark and Norway. The technology was given this temporary code name in 1997 by Intel engineer Jim Kardach, who drew an analogy between the king’s historical unification of Scandinavian tribes and the technology’s goal of uniting the PC and cellular industries through short-range wireless links.
