The word for fish in ancient Greek is ichthys (ΙΧΘΥΣ). Early Christians used these letters as an acronym for a core statement of faith:

Iota (I): Iēsous (Jesus)

Chi (CH): Christos (Christ)

Theta (TH): Theou (of God)

Upsilon (U): Huios (Son)

Sigma (S): Sōtēr (Savior)

Together, it translates to "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior." 

 

Early Use: Christians used the fish symbol starting in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD to identify themselves and their meeting places.

Biblical Connections: Jesus called his disciples "fishers of men," fed crowds with miraculous portions of fish and bread, and tied water baptism to life in the water.
