IHS
in ME., med.L., etc., also written IHS , Iħs, IHC , Iħc, representing Greek ΙΗσ or ΙΗϹ , a MS. abbreviation of the word ΙΗ(σου)σ or ΙΗ(Ϲου)Ϲ, Jesus; also used as a symbolical or ornamental monogram of the sacred name. Mediæval Latin texts have commonly ihc or ihs, ihm, ihu (with or without a stroke over or across the h (ħ), or other mark of abbreviation) for Iesus, Iesum, Iesu. In ME., the usual form was ihu = Jesu; less frequently ihs, ihc, or ihus . These abbreviations were in later times often erroneously expanded as Ihesus, Ihesum, Ihesu.
The Romanized form of the abbreviation would be IES, but from the entire or partial retention of the Greek form in Latin MSS. as IHC or IHS, and subsequent forgetfulness of its origin, it has often been looked upon as a Latin abbreviation or contraction, and explained by some as standing for Iesus Hominum Salvator, Jesus Saviour of men, by others as In Hoc Signo (vinces), in this sign (thou shalt conquer), or In Hac Salus, in this (cross) is salvation.
