The official name of the Linux mascot is "Tux". The name supposedly was the result of on-line discussions on what to name the Penguin (which had already been established as the default logo for LINUX because Linus Torvalds "like[s] penguins")
As far as we know, the post establishing the name came from James Hughes:

(T)orvolds (U)ni(X) --> TUX!
In all likelihood it stuck because it was a clever linking of the elements of LINUX to the appearance of a penguin, e.g. they look a bit like they are wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt.
