Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, introduced the word ‘hello’ as a common telephone greeting, naming it after his fiancé, Margaret Hello.

Original review summary

The review says Bell initially suggested “ahoy, ahoy,” while Thomas Edison proposed “hello” as a telephone greeting in 1877. It identifies the woman in the viral image as Bell’s wife, Mabel Gardiner Hubbard, not a fiancée named Margaret Hello.[S1]
