• the origin of the 'H' from 'Jesus H. Christ'
• It's believed that a Latin shortening, from the Greek spelling of Jesus, which only used the first three Greek letters explains the confusion
• The Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς was shortened to 'IHC', but centuries later the 'I' would be confused for a 'J'
• 'JHC' was then justified, with the 'J' meaning 'Jesus' and the 'C' meaning 'Christ', leaving 'H' to be the initial of his middle name
• Examples usages of 'Jesus H. Christ' have been found in modern times online but have also been documented as far back as Mark Twain

"Hesus J. Christ" is what the "H" stands for. The "J" stands for "Jesus H. Christ".
Another proof that God loves recursion programming.
