monogram

Embroidered identity mark

A monogram is a design made by combining two or more letters, typically someone's initials, into a single symbol: The towels were embroidered with her monogram.

Monograms appear on stationery, luggage, jewelry, and clothing as marks of ownership or personalization.

To monogram something is to add such a design: a monogrammed shirt.
