Santa Anagramming to Satan is also a meaningless "call". Santa for example; is Santa Claus, or Saint Nickolaus; not simply Santa.

hello
1883, alteration of hallo, itself an alteration of holla, hollo, a shout to attract attention, which seems to go back to at least c. 1400. Perhaps from holla! "stop, cease." OED cites Old High German hala, hola, emphatic imperative of halon, holon "to fetch," "used especially in hailing a ferryman." Fowler lists halloo, hallo, halloa, halloo, hello, hillo, hilloa, holla, holler, hollo, holloa, hollow, hullo, and writes, "The multiplicity of forms is bewildering ...." Popularity as a greeting coincides with use of the telephone, where it won out over Alexander Graham Bell's suggestion, ahoy. Central telephone exchange operators were known as hello-girls (1889).

Hello, formerly an Americanism, is now nearly as common as hullo in Britain (Say who you are; do not just say 'hello' is the warning given in our telephone directories) and the Englishman cannot be expected to give up the right to say hello if he likes it better than his native hullo. [H.W. Fowler, "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage," 1926]

The English word may be in part from Old Norse Hel (from Proto-Germanic *halija "one who covers up or hides something"), in Norse mythology the name of Loki's daughter, who rules over the evil dead in Niflheim, the lowest of all worlds (nifl "mist"). Transfer of a pagan concept and word to a Christian idiom. In Middle English, also of the Limbus Patrum, place where the Patriarchs, Prophets, etc. awaited the Atonement. Used in the KJV for Old Testament Hebrew Sheol and New Testament Greek Hades, Gehenna. Used figuratively for "state of misery, any bad experience" since at least late 14c. As an expression of disgust, etc., first recorded 1670s.

Expression Hell in a handbasket is attested by 1867, in a context implying use from a few years before, and the notion of going to Heaven in a handbasket is from 1853, with a sense of "easy passage" to the destination. Hell or high water (1874) apparently is a variation of between the devil and the deep blue sea. To wish someone would go to hell is in Shakespeare ("Merchant of Venice"). Snowball's chance in hell "no chance" is from 1931; till hell freezes over "never" is from 1832. To ride hell for leather is from 1889, originally with reference to riding on horseback. Hell on wheels is said to be from 1843 in DAS; popularity dates from 1869 in reference to the temporary workers' towns along the U.S. transcontinental railroad and their vices.[/quote] http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=Hell&searchmode=none

Satan
Satan (n.) Look up Satan at Dictionary.com
proper name of the supreme evil spirit in Christianity, Old English Satan, from Late Latin Satan (in Vulgate in Old Testament only), from Greek Satanas, from Hebrew satan "adversary, one who plots against another," from satan "to show enmity to, oppose, plot against," from root s-t-n "one who opposes, obstructs, or acts as an adversary."

In Septuagint (Greek) usually translated as diabolos "slanderer," literally "one who throws (something) across" the path of another (see devil (n.)), though epiboulos "plotter" is used once.

In biblical sources the Hebrew term the satan describes an adversarial role. It is not the name of a particular character. Although Hebrew storytellers as early as the sixth century B.C.E. occasionally introduced a supernatural character whom they called the satan, what they meant was any one of the angels sent by God for the specific purpose of blocking or obstructing human activity.

After all I have posted about Lexigram describing what they can indicate and all; how can anyone think I think they are all meaningless?

I just feel that the shorter/more common finds when Lexigramming, do not always bear as much weight of relevance, if any, to longer less common rare finds.

For example; many people have Ra in their names.
Does that mean that the deity Ra matters to everyone who has it in their name? That is subject to opinion.
I knew a family of mother, son, and daughter; who each had RA within their full names; and the mother in both her full maiden/birth name and married name.
Sure it was cool that all three people's names had RA; but RA was too common in my opinion to carry much relevant weight.
Now these words, rare and much longer were found in each person's names, and carry heavy relevant weight in my opinion!
PARADIASICAL
INFANTICIDE
INFANTILE
PATRICIDE
FRATRICIDAL
MATRICIDE
MATRICIDAL
FANTASTICAL

They all had many more such long rare words!
THAT TO ME BEARS MORE WEIGHT THAN MOST SHORTER WORDS!
There are short rare words that I feel bear much weight of relevance and meaning however.
LOVE is oddly one such words. Very rare to be found in most names.
So folks, you got me wrong;
because...
I DO BELIEVE LEXIGRAMMING HAS MEANING;
just not every time or as much relevance.
One must be discerning.
And take into consideration the etymologies as I illustrated. Automatically attributing heavy meaning is only opinion, not truth.
Discernment must be taken into account.

I think "hell" means something in "hello", but that is my opinion, and I am not sure what it means. Perhaps that in hell we are in the illusion of seperateness and need to overcome it by using "hello".

Hi Ayelet. Really the word seems most powerful to those who are more religiously tuned. I think anyway. Hell can be anywhere.
I think Hel from Norse/Hyperborea might have some relation to the word Hell. Hello, I can't figure where it falls into it. It could be a reminder of Hell. Idk.

Personally I think of Dante's Inferno or the darker side of the film, 'What Dreams May Come'. The dark portion of the film, with the word of Hell. We are programmed to fear Hell. Yet our minds may very well 'be the creation' of it. After all we each are unique with perception. Not uniform in thought, dream, fear, desire etc. I think there's such a thing as the collective but singularity as well.

My perception is it's within the mind. Darkness and light within us all, always.

For me, Hell is in my name and I even have this: 'I am Hell' - which anyone who has ever known me, they'd say how fitting it is.
I have been known to be obnoxious. Definitely. lol Having this as part of me makes me think of an old tune 🎵Don't fear the reaper 🎵 by Blue Oyster Cult
I need to read this thread to see what Lexx and others said. There may be some Hell/Hello I might learn about. Thanks for posting it, Ayelet.

Ayelet,
Reading your statement here, my mind traveled to a echo chamber. Much like a cave. Which in the research data Lexx added here to Hel/Hell, it had me imagining the chamber to be a cave. I heard the word 'Hel-l-o' in that way they do in movies and tv. Someone will speak to an unknown, unforseen 'other'. My mind just took me there. Maybe that's why they use this syquence in films. To reflect the fear of the unknown? Perhaps.
