Featured Term (selected at random):
Iesus (Jesus) Hominum Salvator (usual interpretation), Jesus Savior of Men. Really a faulty Latin transliteration of the first three letters of JESUS in Greek (IHS for IHC).

Jesus our Savior. Greek title found in early Christian inscriptions.
The name Our Lord. It is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, whose Hebrew is Jeshua or Joshua, meaning Yahweh is salvation. It is the name through which God the Father is to be invoked and by which the Apostles worked miracles (Acts 3, 6). In standard usage the name "Jesus" is applied to the Son of Mary, who is also the Son of God; as distinct from "Christ," which refers to his Messianic role as the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies.

In uncial Greek script, the first three letters (iota, eta and sigma) look like IHC, but the Latin transliteration was IHS because Latin I is the equivalent of iota, H was used to transliterate eta since there was no other one-letter equivalent for the Greek eta in Latin (the sound is one letter in Greek, but a two-letter diphthong in Latin), and Latin S is the Latin transliteration for sigma.
