mmm so Chemistry is involved. Let me load my O levels chemistry in my mind................................... Failed..unable to load.

So AU is GOLD and X is just meaning less symbol.

It's the symbol, not a formula. Also the answer is in post number 3.

At first I thought of it some sort of currency as well maybe a taiwanese or a chinese word. As most of us know, a number of taiwanese words and names have "X" like xiao yu.

I think it has been derived from Chemistry and as every metal and element has its symbol so the same way Gold has its symbol which is XAU.
