Derek,

The last letter specifies the year. With Hyster, some may be older as they have already rotated once through all the letters. The letter M is for 2013 I believe. They did not use I, O or Q to make sure they were not mistaken for numbers.

Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
