IHS is a Latin facsimilie of the first three Greek letters of Jesus' name - Iota, Epsilon, Sigma. It is a representation of Jesus's name. A common explanation is that it is from the Latin in hoc signo [vinces] (In this sign you will conquer), which was supposedly the message accompanying the divine vision that Emperor Constantine saw prompting him to convert to Christianity. This however is a back-formation after the original meaning.
