Why Greeks don�t request to be called Hel

For the same reason that the Welsh don't insist they are called Cymry, the Dutch don't insist they are called Nederlanders, the Finns don;t insist they are called Soumi, and so on. Of course, they all like it when you do.
Namely they take it for granted that different peoples have different names in different languages. Linguistic diversity and all that.

Nope, wasn't me. You've obviously either making that one up or you're thinking about someone else, since I'd never say that kind of stuff.

Hellas= 'elios' + 'laas' =  sun + rock =  literally  meaning "land of sun"

This is my opinion dear Sir
If Hellenes is PIE for settlers
then what Hellas as possible meaning could hide ?
Logic is that all the settlers have had settled in the parts all around
after they having migrated into  the pointed places  and  made 
Helllas or an area where a group of families live together
from the my mother tongue ,comparation is
Hellas
*H->X->K'S
K'SEllas
(-K)'Sellas
SellAS
'Sella/s
Sella-vilages in plural
where singular is
SellO
SellO +AS ->  as adopted word  for  from singulare to plural
Sellas



for the people what have made a migration to come in at  the area

or Ella - Come here ,( we share the same word with the  same meaning dont we
  )

 the common name of Hellas could have the Macedonian meaning of
Hellas or vilages  as read  uder the letters
And my gues is that after they establish their city -states  had  they started to identified themselves  ,as a possible by now days meaning of country recognise  via
the  Moon Goddess of Hellene or *HelLunae  what does receive shine from the Sun
again my Macedonian

Hel-
K'Sel
Sel
e-je-ije
Sijel
Sijael
Sjail -> has been shining
or Sjaj-> shine

Well, this way I can make many names too... Take for example the english word "fish" The ending -ish means "of the like" or "of the kind" in english. The first letter "f", usually (as in the "f word") means to "procreate". So the word "fish" then means "like procreating" = "pretending to procreate" = "having sex for fun". Therefore, "fish" means "having sex for fun". The above is as fishy as your own etymological analysis. Also: Your FYROMski word "ella" = come, comes from the arabic "yalla" = to come. The Greek word "ela" = come, is short of the word "elthe" (where "th" is the letter theta) = come. So, no relation there. Now go to sleep

Of course that you or anybody else can make a lot of word  researches
what most of all must to be well grouded

now you have to  think how you could

Tralalalala-lala-lala.....

Why do you insist associating the greek language of Makedonia with this language of yours that has absolutely no relation to this region?
Makedonski is closer to Macaronski.
The dialect spoken in Makedonia is a beautiful dialect of Greek, called Makedonika Ellinika.
All others are nothing but toothpaste...

Don't balme me for your vivid imagination. As I said before, but you obviously neglected to read it. as i SAID:
" I'd never say that kind of stuff."

So please inform me exactly where and when I said anything similar to this,  I honestly would appreciate it, unless you've mistaken some kind of sarcasm and literally believed it. Then dear friend that is your prob not mine.
