Best Answer

The letters "LAX" is the IATA identifier code for Los Angeles International Airport. This code is used to identify the airport in radio communications and in navigation equipment & charts. When the airport was founded in 1928, it was given the simple 2-letter identifier "LA" for Los Angeles, however in the late 1940's these identifier codes were standardized across the US as 3-letter codes. The "X" was added simply because something had to be added, and doesn't stand for anything.
