Early Greek Christians used the acronym Icthys, or Icthus- latinized as a sign for Jesus Christ, son of God, savior, or similar meaning, it was a sort of code phrase and was written in greek letters inside a stylized Fish symbol, for some reason it is easier to draw a fish backwards!-from the tail end. Icthyology is of course the study of Fish and is derived from the Greek, as many Early Christians were fisherman- such as St.Peter, the symbolism is right-on.
