Etymology

edit

Probably from French holà (“hey! stop!”).[1] This is related to greetings in Germanic cognates such as Dutch hola, Old High German holā, emphatic imperative of Old High German holōn (“to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman”)[2][3]

The Diccionario de la lengua española compares the Germanic expressions English hello and German hallo.[4] Also compared is Arabic وَٱللّٰه (wal-lāh, “really?, by God!”), but support for this is lacking.
