Catholic AnswerUsually the letters stamped on some hosts is IHS, Fr. Hardon explains:

from

Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

I.H.S.

Which stands for Iesus (Jesus - there is no "J" in Latin) Hominum Salvator (usual interpretation), Jesus Savior of Men. Really a faulty Latin transliteration of the first three letters of JESUS in Greek (IHS for IHC).
