The X in X men refers to the mutation that takes place in the X gene which gives mutants their special abilities! The X also coincidentally plays with the first alphabet of Professor Xavier, founder of the Xmen, and whose mutant name is Professor X! The Xmen try to resolve issues between human and mutant conflicts while at the same time protecting their true identities as the world isn't ready to accept mutants.

It sounds stupid, but the X stands for 'eXtra' powers, which the team members all have. Most people just assume it stands for the X-gene, which is what makes a mutant a mutant, or it's named after Professor Xavier, their founder.

-According to Stan Lee he devised the name X-Men after the name, The Mutants, was turned down. He then named the series X-Men and subsequent group the X-Men after Charles Xavier. He chose to name the series After Xavier due to the fact that the members have always been followers of Xavier.
