The IHS Monogram. IHS is a popular Latinized monogram acronym from the Roman 3rd Century based on the GREEK letters Iota (i), the first letter of Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς), Greek for "Jesus"; Theta (th), the first letter of Theos (Θεóς), Greek for "God"; and Sigma (s), the first letter of sōtēr (Σωτήρ), Greek for "Savior".
