It is not a nickname, but the Greeks call themselves Hellas after their legendary founder, Helen (a dude). Their nickname is actually Greek after being mistaken for the Graeci tribe by the Roman peeps.

What is the nickname of Greece?

Not a nickname, but what they themselves called it was Hellas, after its legendary founder Helen (a male). They called themselves Hellenes. If you want a nickname, it's Greek - the Romans started calling the Hellenes Greeks when they mistook the Greeks in southern Italy for a tribe called the Graeci, and the name has stuck, but Greeks even today call themselves Hellenes.
