Rum is not the actual word the Byzantines called themselves. It was Romei=Roman citizens.

What about its meaning? 

1-Hellen: The girl who fell into Hellenpontus
2-Hellen: from Troy 

but it has to have a meaning like Helmet-Turk?

Helen is utterly irrelevant to Hellenas. The etymology is unknown.... It is the name of an ancient tribe of Thessaly.

So, what is your point? People had killed each other since time immemorial, this is one of their favourite passtimes. What I meant was that to claim that forceful conversions were equal to free choosing of religion, is a mockery with the historical facts. It's like to say that the BG Turks were voluntarily choosing Bulgarian names during the late 70's, in the so called Vuzroditelen Process. This is different than the normal cultural assimilation, and it cannot be equalized with it.
