The words Hellenic and Hellene are the words for Greek in our own language:
ΕΛΛΗΝ — Hellene — is the root word.

The word Greek comes from the Latin translation from the Greco-Roman era.
Therefore:
Hellenic American = Greek American.

Hellenic American History = Greek American History.
Our website title, Preservation of American Hellenic History (PAHH), means Preservation of American Greek History — Preservation of Greek American History.

We use the .com suffix because it is easier to remember:
PAHH.com
However, we are not a commercial website. We also hold the .org domain name, which likewise comes to this homepage:
PAHH.org
This is a volunteer, charitable enterprise to promote and preserve Greek American history.
The acronym PAHH stands for the Preservation of American Hellenic History.
