Actually, "Simpson", his mother's maiden name.
During the period from Vicksburg on, the "U.S." became sloganized as "Unconditional Surrender".

Sources differ. Some say it stands for not anything, considering that his title was once Hiram Ulysses Grant and he did not wish the initials HUG. Some say it stands for Simpson, his mom's maiden title.

It actually doesn't stand for anything. Ulysses S. Grant's birth name was "Hiram Ulysses Grant;" he began signing his name as "Ulysses S. Grant" during his time at West Point.

The S stands for nada. His real name at birth was Hiram Ulysses Grant.

Nothing. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. Upon graduation, Grant adopted the form of his new name with middle initial only, never acknowledging that the "S" stood for Simpson.

teh flea is partially correct. The S was mistakenly entered on his nomination to West Point by his congressman as Simpson was his mother's maiden name. It had to stand, and Grant kept it thereafter, although never acknowledging it stood for Simpson. Therefore the S stood for nothing.
