I believe this is because ASP+ was the very first name of the project that
finally gave ASP.NET. The x is just a rotated +.

At least this is my theory ;-)

Good theory, and similar to the theory that "C#" stands for

C++
++ .

"asp" stands for "active server page".
"ash" stands for "active server handler".
"asc" stands for "active server control".

I assume that the "x" has simply been added to make visible that .NET is
used, which is a bad choice by the way (hide implementation details!).
