IHS. Abbreviation of the name Jesus by means of the first three letters in Greek (H being the uncial form of the letter eta). Later, however, attempts were made to understand the three letters as initials of words in Latin. Most popular was the interpretation In Hoc Signo [vinces], 'in this sign [thou shalt conquer]', the inscription on the cross seen in a vision by the emperor Constantine; or Iesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus, saviour of men).

How does INRI differ from IHS?

INRI and IHS are both Christian symbols, but they have different meanings. INRI stands for "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum," which translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," and is often associated with the inscription placed above Jesus on the cross. In contrast, IHS is a monogram derived from the first three letters of "Iesus" in Greek (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ) and is used to represent Jesus Christ, often in the context of the Eucharist. While INRI emphasizes Jesus' identity and kingship, IHS focuses on his name and presence in Christian worship.
