Greeks called themselves Hellenes, and still do. The word Greek came from the Romans, in their drive down Italy, ran into a tribe called the Graeci. Then they ran into the many Greek city-states located in southern Italy, and thinking them more of the same, called them the Magna Graeci (Great Greeks). The term Greek stuck in the Roman world. And those who spoke Greek were labelled Greeks - those who spoke Greek expanded as people in eastern Europe and the Middle East learned to use it when Alexander the great took over the Persian Empire and he and his Macedonian successors, who formed the Hellenistic Kingdoms out of his empire after his death, tried to introduce Greek culture.
