From the Grekelin perspective, ''Γρέκέλίν'' is split into "Γρέκέλ-" and "-ίν", the latter being used to show that "it derives" from the former. Hence, Grekelin derives from some unknown "Grekel" word. Some studies appear to talk about the Grekely people (perhaps referring to the first Greeks in Hungary?). It also looks like an extremely corrupted form of ''Szekely'', a Hungarian subgroup living in Romania, perhaps during the first split of Grekelin from Greek. | From the Grekelin perspective, ''Γρέκέλίν'' is split into "Γρέκέλ-" and "-ίν", the latter being used to show that "it derives" from the former.
