Grætia=Græcia

The Latin consonants… except as noticed below, were pronounced more or less as they generally are in English.
Notes for letter t :
t (ratio) always had its proper sound; ra-ti-ō was pronounced as it is written ( not with the sound of sh as in English rational, nor with the sound of ts, although in many Italian words t has been replaced by a z which is pronounced as ts – e.g. giustizia from Latin iūstitia ).


Ref: S. A. Handford and Mary Herberg “Latin-English ,English -Latin dictionary” Berlin and Munich ,Germany, 1955,1966 … p.8-9

From here we can notice that in a lot of Italian words letter t has been replaced by a z ,which is pronounced as ts.
We could compare not only example of the word iūstitia- giustizia, but at the words Dalmatia pronounced as Dalmatsia ,Croatia, pronounced as Croatsia, in my mother tongue written as Dalmacia, pronounced the same as well.
This letter deviation reality could be taken as example to analysed letter t deviation at the word gratio.
GraTio
t->ts-c
*Gratio->*Grætio->*Gratsio->*Grætsio –>*Græcio-Greece
Gratio pronounced as Gracio and this days spelt as Greece with the meaning same as Hellene

Hellene and Greece two different words meaning one and the same
at two different languages .
Hellene= Selenje in Macedonian
Greece = Migration in Latin

Complete nonsence once again...

1) The word is Έλληνας (Ellinas transcribed instead of translitterated). There's no H pronounciation at all. It is pronounced as following:

El like E in El Paso
Li like in litterature
Nas like in Nascar

2) Graeki is the name of 1 tribe that came in early contact with Latins, who in their turn called all Greek speaking people for that. The name derives from Graea which means grey or old.

Good luck next time Gomer...

And to be more official with some credible source, read this:

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Greek

Greek Look%20up%20Greek%20at%20Dictionary.com
O.E. Crecas (pl.), early Gmc. borrowing from L. Græci "the Hellenes," from Gk. Grakoi. Aristotle, who was the first to use Graikhos as equivalent to Hellenes ("Meteorologica" I.xiv) wrote that it was the name originally used by Illyrians for the Dorians in Epirus, from Graii, native name of the people of Epirus. But a modern theory (put forth by Ger. classical historian Georg Busolt, 1850-1920), derives it from Graikhos "inhabitant of Graia" (lit. "gray"), a town on the coast of Boeotia, which was the name given by the Romans to all Greeks, originally to the Gk. colonists from Graia who helped found Cumae (9c. B.C.E.), the important city in southern Italy where the Latins first encountered Greeks. It was reborrowed in this general sense by the Greeks. Meaning "unintelligible speech, gibberish" is from 1600. Meaning "Greek letter fraternity member" is student slang, 1900.
"It was subtle of God to learn Greek when he wished to become an author -- and not to learn it better." [Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil," 1886]
The Turkish name for the country is Yunanistan, lit. "Land of the Ionians," hence Arabic, Hindi Yunan. Greek gift is from "Æneid," II.49: "timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." The Gmc. languages originally borrowed the word with an initial -k- sound (cf. O.H.G. Chrech, Goth. Kreks), which was probably their initial sound closest to the Latin -g- at the time; the word was later refashioned.
