IHS is abbreviation of Latin for In hoc signe, meaning "in this sign" (the cross) will you conquer and prevail.

Not a symbol for the name of Jesus, but a symbol pertaining to the cross of Jesus.

There seems to be disagreement, but I was taught that Constantine saw the cross in the sky and heard the words, “In this sign shall you conquer”

He was on the battlefield and he converted to Christianity and the next day won his war to take over the Roman Empire.
