Icthus is also the Greek word for fish, and the fish was an early symbol of Christianity - you can see it carved into the walls of the catacombs outside room. (The catacombs were used as place of meeting and a place to bury the dead by Christians when the Romans were persecuting them).
In addition, this word forms an anagram expressing Christian beliefs

What does the fish symbol have to do with god?
In some ways it may inspire you to remember Jesus feeding the 5000 with fish and bread from a single fish and loaf. However, the actual origin of the fish symbol as that of God comes from a time when Christians had to meet in secret because their faith was outlawed. They came up with a coded symbol to signal meeting locations. This symbol was a fish because the Greek word ichthus, which means fish, is an anagram of the Greek translation of "Jesus Christ God's Son, Savior" (Iesus KHristos Theou HUios Soter).
