I am looking at the "Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang" v. 2 (H-O) pg 272
The "H" stands for IHS or IHC with the H (Greek letter eta) IHS is the epigram for Jesus (remember IHS over the Cross?)
There you have it. A genuine, truthful answer

It probably originates from a common monogram for the name of Christ "IHS" that was used for hundreds of years in churches for inscriptions and artwork. It is apparently properly derived from a contraction of the Greek name "Iesous Christos", but was commonly identified with the Latin phrase "Iesus Hominum Salvator" translated as "Jesus Savior of Men".

The H stands for "Himself."
Jesus Himself Christ

It usually means "Holy", because it must be followed by "on a Harley Davidson", which is the gift of God to bike lovers.

Hominum
It is from the latin "Jesus Hominum Salvator", which is latin for "Jesus, Saviour of Men"
EDIT: Marie, the librarian, is also correct. In latin it is "Iesus Hominum Salvator" or IHS (which is over the cross). The I is the J in Jesus.
