Yes, the phrase "I hail from" is entirely correct, grammatically sound, and widely accepted in standard English as a polite, traditional idiom used to state your hometown, birthplace, or geographic origin. For example, stating "I hail from Boston" means that is where you grew up or consider your roots to be. The expression originates from old maritime customs where sailors would call out a greeting to passing ships to identify their home port, blending the greeting definition with personal origins.
