The Greeks used the term Helen. Greece/Greek came from the Romans who were later conquering Italy and in its south, the Greek cities there. They confused them with a tribe called the Graeci, and thinking them the same people, called them the Great Graeci. From this came the word Greek, while the people we called the Greeks continued Hellene even to modern times - the last king of Greece Constantine II (1964-1972 CE) was still titled King of the Hellenes.
