I think the name is originally Italian and means 'man of the hill'. I came from Holland in 1951 and have a dutch family tree going back to early 1700, when an Otto Hello came from France as a hireling soldier. Our name is very rare and my estimate after a white pages search is that there are not more than 1000 people with the surname Hello in the world and most of them live in Brittany with Plouay as its center. I will be glad to hear from any other Hello's in the world. Kind regards Otto 16 Dec 2000 3:32:31 GMT Hello http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.hello/1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.hello/1/mb.ashx 0
