What does the “S” stand for in Ulysses S. Grant?

Nothing. His MIDDLE name was Ulysses. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant. It is frequently said that Grant’s middle name was “Simpson.” It was not.

It was just a letter he picked. Seriously. His name was Hiram Ulysses Grant and when he went into the military, everyone got something (can’t remember what) with their initials on it and since he didn’t want his to say HUG, he changed his name. I’m fairly certain this is how it went. Hope this helps!
