Its a popular cliche when receiving calls to start with the word " Hello". The word is said by billions of people on daily basis, But little have been said on how it originated. Well this Picture explains it. 3 Likes

I believe the answer above is not true. Bell's girlfriend on 1873 is Mabel Hubbard which he marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876. BTW Mabel Hubbard is deaf. His father-in-law is one of the two financial backers for his invention. 6 Likes |

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. 7 Likes 1 Share |
