It was never officially named PSX, but it was called that way by people for some reason. I guess to differentiate the fat and slim versions.

The name spread at the time even before the release of the console, so everyone called it that, even websites listed it as PSX. The slim PSOne version came much later, arguably even too late to be of any significance for anyone or anything.
