From the official FAQ[1]:

> How do you pronounce “NGINX”?

> Correct: en-juhn-eks, Engine-X

> Incorrect: en-jingks

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually an abbreviation of "engine-x", but I can't find any better source that explains how they came up with the name. Still, this source pretty much implies it.
