When meeting someone for the first time or not seeing someone for a very long time, you want them to feel welcome in your home, friends home, etc. Saying a simple hello can make a person feel welcomed or even made their day. So, just say it with a smile and you'll feel 100% better when you found out that you made a person's day happy.(:

It is a simple "social convention". Some psychologists call them "rituals" (with no religious connotation whatsoever). The sense here is that statements like "hello", "goodbye", "How are you doing?" [perhaps more accurately: How-ya-doo-in?] "What's new?" are meant as a simple and brief acknowlegment of the presence of another person, and are often not meant to go any further. They are signals that "I am aware that you are there".

∙ 12y agoAccording to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo, which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman." It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there'). As in addition to hello, hallo and hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants or related words, the word can be spelt using any of all five vowels.
