Proper name [Latin]

Forms: JHS [alternative], IHC [alternative], JHC [alternative]
Etymology: The reference to Jesus is from the first three letters of Jesus' name in Koine Greek, ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (IĒSOUS), arising perhaps circa 14th century. The interpretation as an initialism of Iēsūs Hominum Salvātor (“Jesus, saviour of men”) is apparently a later back-formation when the Greek was no longer remembered. (See Christogram on Wikipedia.)
