Why isn't Greece called Hellene? It's a much better name.

Because it sounds like a girl's name

Shitposting to the bone, my Melbournian friend.
Of course you are aware that Greece is called Hellada in Greek...
Or something like: Hllada (with H = /ee/ sound)
Greek Language = illiniki glossa

>Hellene
>Έλλην
That means greek.
you were obviously going for "Hellas". The constitutional name is Hellenic Republic which is pretty much it.

Graeci was the name of a city/people in ancient Greece.
They established colonies in southern Italy.
When the Latins & Romans met the Greek colonists, they called themselves Graeci. In antiquity, cultures usually used the same name for all speakers of a specific language/members of specific culture group. Thus in Latin Graeci came to refer to Hellenes in general.
Because southern Italy was so bountiful, the Greek colonies and cities became known as 'Magna Graecia'.
Greek is simply the Anglicization of Graeci. Most languages in Europe took the word from Latin. Some did not. Greeks themselves use Hellas/Hellenes.

Someone on /his/ does spout bullshit that the Dorians were Jews and that Jews settled Greece even before that.
But there is no proof to suggestion Dorians were at all related to Israeli Tribes. And any theories regarding the bronze age are unlikely to be true.
It's possible that Greeks settled in Canaan after the Bronze Age collapse though. Some evidence that Philistines were Greek.
