The fish symbol is mostly associated with Christianity now, and is said to be derived from the fact that in Greek, the letters in fish (ICTHUS) are the same as the letters in Christ (CHRISTOS). That's what I was told & I didn't believe it either!

The fish symbol, like most "Christian" symbols (the Christmas tree, the cross etc) was around before Jesus, back in Egyptian times.

The symbol was made by intersecting two arcs of a circle and represents that "as above, so below", or another way of saying that "all that is in the heavens (universe) is inside of man".

Most quantum physicists now agree that man is a microcosm of the universe and that "God" or Universe or Eternal Energy lies within us.

The Star of David or Seal of Solomon hexagram shows two triangles that are said to represent the same philosophy as the two circular arcs. Google Secret Sex Matrix or read the Da Vinci Code

What are all the meanings of the fish symbol?

The acronym "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior" in Greek spells "Ichthys" which meant "fish". So the fish became a symbol (at times secret) of followers of Christianity. There is also a story where Jesus feeds a great multitude with a few loaves of bread and a few fish. So the fish can also be seen as a symbol of God's grace.
