Actually, we are talking about Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. When he invented the telephone in 1876, the first call he made was to his girlfriend Margaret Hello and the first word that came out of his mouth as soon as the phone was picked up was ‘Hello’.
It is said that from here it became a trend all over the world that after picking up the phone, people will say hello. Even today, when someone picks up the phone, his first word is hello. In this way, Graham Bell made his girlfriend so popular that today every person in the world knows her name and also takes her name several times a day. However, this story is a gift of social media. It has nothing to do with reality. Let us now tell you the truth of the first phone call.
To whom did Graham Bell make the first phone call
According to the report of Britain’s Library of Congress, when Graham Bell got the patent for the telephone on March 7, 1876, he made the first call to his partner Thomas Watson in America. In the same report, it has been claimed that after picking up the phone, Graham Bell said Ahoy instead of Hello. This is a Dutch word, which means to greet someone.
So where did this hello come from?
When you look up the word hello in the Oxford English dictionary, you will find that this word is derived from the old German word Hala. In French, this word is called Hola. It means how are you. The first written mention of this word is in 1833. However, the word hello was made popular all over the world by Thomas Alva Edison, who invented the bulb. When he invented the bulb in 1877, he wrote a letter to TBA Smith, the president of Pittsburgh’s ‘Central District and Printing Telegraph Company’, and told him that ‘Hello’ should be spoken as the first word on the telephone. It is said that since then the word hello became popular all over the world.
