It means hell No


Chinese don't say hello, it's only some countries who follow British blindly that dhey do copy copy.

No. This is a popular hoax on internet.

Mabel Hubbard was Bell's girlfriend who he later marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876.

Graham Bell actually never used the term "hello" . The first call he made was to his assistant who was in the adjoining room and he said "Come-here. I want to see you."

The word "Hello" actually came from hola which meant to stop and pay attention. Alexander Bell preferred to use Ähoy"as in the ships those days which co-incidentally was misheard by Edison.

In 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh:
Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away.
What you think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00.

This information isn't true.
Graham Bell never said hello.
In fact, he preferred the term 'Ahoy'.
It was Thomas Edison that coined 'Hello'.
There were even other versions.
But as with synonyms, hello caught on and every other version died over the years.

In this modern world, some people will just see trash and jumped at it without verifying.

Thomas Edison was first person to use 'Hullo" to start a phone conversation and it was as a surprise, d 'hullo' later metarmophorsed to 'hello. Graham used 'Ahoy' in his first set of telephone. Using 'hello' cos of his gf is just sometin dat came up wen pple got to know of his gf name.

I believe you more than the OP

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo,[4] which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman."[5] It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there').[6] As in addition to hello, halloo,[7] hallo, hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants or related words, the word can be spelt using any of all five vowels
