Thomas Edison first coined the term 'Hello' as the standard for greeting someone on the telephone. This soon became the standard greeting for every occasion, and not just for answering the phone. He coined the phrase not much after the invention of the telephone, in 1876, though it is impossible to say when it actually first became widely popularized, as not everyone had a phone in 1876, and took several years, even decades, for the telephone to be a standard in every house, so popularized use is unknown. Though, Mark Twain did use the word 'hello' in one of his novels in 1872, which was the first use, but not in use by more than one person, so it doesn't count as a 'use'. The most accurate time for when 'hello' started spreading all over the globe is when it was recorded in the dictionary in 1883. Though we know all of this, there is no exact date in which the word 'hello' first came to natural use.
