Grant's real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant. However, when he was nominated for West Point, the Congressman who nominated him, wrote his name as Ulysses S. Grant, presumably thinking his middle name was Simpson, which was his mother's maiden name. He never corrected his name with West Point, was commissioned as Ulysses S.Grant and that became his official army name. Maybe he did not like is old initials of HUG.
Simpson is the maiden name of Grant's mother.
His name at birth was Hiram Ulysses Grant. He later changed it to Ulysses Hiram Grant. He just changed the first and middle names order. He was a good president. His name got spelled wrong on a application to go to West Point and he was forced to change his name to go to West Point. The made up S is for his mother's middle name, Simpson.

Hiram Ulysses Grant. It is frequently said that Grant's middle name was "Simpson." It was not. His middle name was "Ulysses" and he admitted that the "S" in his name stood for nothing.
