Guess it should be "I hail from Loanniha." right??

Hi handyy

You probably guessed right.

Its a really old fashioned way of saying "to come from". The verb "to hail" can also mean to call someone as in "to hail a cab" or "Hail Mary" or for when there is solid rain (hail) falling from the sky.

Well, I have never heard the construction
"I am to hail from..."
I think we'll have to ask the proposer here!

maliz, where did you read this?

Please write the words or sentences that came before and after this sentence, if there are any...

I thought it to be "I hail from (come from) Loannina/Greece.", but knowing what comes before and after it is better to know, of course!
