You could redefine the presentation of the theorem counter. For example:
\documentclass{article}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\renewcommand*{\thetheorem}{\Alph{theorem}}
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
Text
\end{theorem}
\end{document}
Output:
If your counter has the name theorem, the corresponding output command has the name \thetheorem. The command \Alph takes a counter as argument and returns the value converted into the corresponding capital letter. \alph would return lowercase letters instead.

I tried to do the same thing for amsthm, but it did not work yet. Where do I have to put the \Alph{}? – w_w Dec 28 '14 at 22:26

How to merge letter and number, to get something like "Theorem S1.1", "Theorem S1.2" and so on? – sam wolfe Dec 06 '22 at 14:09
theorem,amsthmandntheorem. It would be good if you mention which package do you use. Also the document class might be of importance regarding the counter presentation. – Stefan Kottwitz Aug 16 '10 at 21:21
