Stephen explained:
> Hello -> Holla from French Ho là = Hey, there !
The OED, however, also suggests a connection with "Hallo" from OHG. halâ,
holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used esp. in hailing a
ferryman.
Faith-oriented Buddhists may therefore find it a useful preliminary call
before the mantra from the Heart Sutra.
