The word "hello" is believed to have first appeared in print in the early 19th century, with one of the earliest recorded uses in 1827. It gained popularity as a greeting in the United States and was further popularized by Thomas Edison in the late 1800s when he suggested it as a way to answer the telephone. Prior to "hello," other greetings like "hailed" or "salutations" were more commonly used.
