Bluetooth name spoken in original?

If Bluetooth Wireless got its name after a Viking
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Bluetooth,
then how would "blue tooth" be spelled and pronounced in the native language of the Vikings?
Found this page
https://forvo.com/word/bl%C3%A5tand/#sv
with different pronunciations of "Blåtand" in Danish and Swedish, and
https://www.howtopronounce.com/bl%C3%A1t%C7%ABnn
for Icelandic, but I don't know much about vikings (or if that's the right word to lookup) and what language do they spoke 1000+ years ago, so which spelling/pronunciation would be closer to how the king himself would say "Bluetooth"?
