According to HM, HM or H&M stands for Hennes & Mauritz. This originally began as the store Hennes in VästerÃ¥s, Sweden opened by Erling Persson. The name changed when Erling Persson bought the hunting and fishing store Mauritz Widforss in Stockholm, including a stock of men’s clothing.According to The Free Dictionary, the abbreviation HM also has a plethora of different meanings outside of the clothing store H&M. While these are all still valid definitions, they are far less common and should be used sparingly to eliminate any confusion. If you do plan to use one of these different definitions for the acronym HM, ensure that you are providing the reader or listener with the proper context to be able to decipher your intended meaning. This should be standard practice with any acronym that can have more than one definition. When in doubt, use the full form or full meaning of HM, not the shorthand or HM abbreviation/HM acronym in your jargon.
