Etymology
The term 'hullo' dates back to the late 19th century and is derived from the word 'hello,' which itself is believed to come from the earlier version 'holla' or 'hollo.' These earlier forms were used to attract attention or to greet someone. Hullo became popular in informal communication and was often used in British English. Over time, 'hullo' faded in popularity with the rise of 'hello,' which became the more standardized greeting in English-speaking countries. The transition reflects changes in language usage and the evolution of social norms surrounding greetings.
