I don't think that is actually difference in the terms like Holland and
Netherlands. In Greek is pronounced "Ellada" apprevation we call it
sometimes "Ellas" so "Hellas" in other languages. Hellas is more closely
maybe with "Ellada" than the Greece. I don't know if it is actually
historical difference. Maybe Apostolis or other Greek person now more.

Best Wishes!
