They called themselves Hellenes.
As the Romans spread down the Italian peninsula they ran into a tribe called the Graeci. As they went further, they ran into a lot of Hellenic cities, and thinking them the same people, called them the Great Graeci (Greeks). The name has stuck, but the 'reeks' today still think of themselves a Hellenes.
