that was back in 1850 when daniel boone stumbled upon some indians smoking a peace pipe. (we all know what was in that) he said,"hello, i come in peace." the chief thought since he said peace he wanted a hit, and squarely said, "high," as he gave him the pipe. the end.............lol

greeting, 1862, Amer.Eng. (first recorded reference is to speech of a Kansas Indian), originally to attract attention, probably a variant of M.E. hy, hey (c.1475) also an exclamation to call attention. Extended form hiya attested from 1940.

From the word hello most likely. It's just a general response to give people the idea that you notice them I guess.

How do you do?
If you say that quickly and carelessly, you have: howdy.
If you go on, you end up with: hi!
Hi, you are welcome!
