Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Christian Fish Sign #3740638 (License: Personal Use)

The Ichthys symbol, formed by two intersecting arcs resembling a fish, originates from the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys), an acronym for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Early Christians used it covertly during periods of persecution to identify fellow believers. Today, it remains a widely recognized emblem of Christian identity across denominations and cultures.
