The name's ultimate origin is unclear. Beekes suggests that they received the name of the area's original inhabitants (Pre-Greek/substrate), as they were originally called Μαίονες (Maíones). It was connected by Josephus to Lûḏîm (Hebrew לודים) and by Hippolytus to Ludim, son of Mizraim. It could instead ultimately be an endonym from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lewdʰ- (“people”).

Aristotle was one of the first to use the name Γραικοί (Graikoí), saying that the area about Dodona and Achelous was inhabited by the Σελλοί (“Selloi”) and a people formerly called Graeci and now Ἕλληνες (“Hellenes”).
According to one hypothesis, the name means “from Γραῖα (Graîa, “Graea”)”, a city on the coast of Βοιωτῐ́ᾱ (Boiōtíā, “Boeotia”), and it was given to the Greeks of southern Italy by the Romans. The city’s name itself means “grey, venerable” from Proto-Indo-European *ǵerh₂- (“to grow old”). This is in stark contrast to eastern names for the Greeks based on Ἰωνία (Iōnía).
