The oldest reference I can found is on the hdot264 mailing list (btw have a look at the project members list... you'll find some very well-known names
). It dates back October 2003.
Here is the relevant thread (check fenrir's answer).
As for the name, it's maybe a reference to XviD, but possibly not. After all, the "x" is present in the name of a lot of technology-related projects.
