Do you know the real meaning of hello?

Surprise!!!It was the name of a girl. Margaret Hello!! She was the girlfriend of Graham Bell who invented telephone.graham Bell's first word on his telephone after invention was " Hello'. That practice of starting the call with Hello still continues. You can forget the name of Graham Bell, but not his girlfriend. This is all about love.
