The reference toJesus is from the first three letters of Jesus' name inKoine Greek,ΙΗΣΟΥΣ(IĒSOUS), arising perhaps circa 14th century. The interpretation as an initialism ofIēsūsHominumSalvātor(“Jesus, saviour of men”) is apparently a laterback-formation when the Greek was no longer remembered. (SeeChristogram on Wikipedia.)
