Why is こんにちは written as Konnichi-wa, and not -ha? わ is not は ?
I think this is probably alliteration, but I just wanted to make sure

This isn't probably alliteration.
I write こんにちは as konnichiha.
The pronunciation is similar very much, but "wa" is different from "ha".
As for the origin of こんにちは, there is an opinion to be 今日は.
（"今日は"＝"Today is"）
