This was not the man's name. This is in reality an expletive use of Jesus' name, said for the same reasons that a person would use any kind of expletive. The H stands for nothing, or if it does, it has nothing whatever to do with Jesus' name. Christ is a title meaning 'anointed', and not a family name. His name would have sounded more like "Yeshua" (from which we also get the name Joshua) and he would have been referred to as Yeshua bar Yusef (sp?) meaning Yeshua son of Joseph.

Another theory is that it is an abbreviation for Jesus Holy Christ, a blasphemy in the South, perhaps abridged to "H" by Northerners who talk faster. Other Southern epithets that abbreviate the same way are "Jesus Hebe Christ" and "Jesus Hebrew Christ".
