The other "H" is George Hamlin, Howard Hamlin's father.

This is first discussed in Season 2 Episode 8, "Fifi". As per Howard Hamlin's dialogue:

Back in the day, right out of law school, I thought long and hard about hanging up my own shingle.

...

Oh, I was ready to take on the world, make a difference.

Dad talked me out of it.

Wanted me to join the ranks here, throw another "H" in the firm's logo.

In Season 3 Episode 5, "Chicanery", Howard Hamlin, while testifying under oath as a witness, was asked directly who the other Hamlin is in HHM. He again mentions that it is his father.

Howard Hamlin's father's name is mentioned in Season 4 Episode 1, "Smoke":

Charles joined George Hamlin's solo practice on Central Avenue in downtown Albuquerque. Over the course of 23 years, the two men built what became known as Hamlin Hamlin McGill into a nationally-recognized firm.

However, Better Call Saul also introduces an entirely new group of characters, every bit of colorful and fascinating as the cast of Breaking Bad.
