It is an acronym for the site's original purpose.
Magic
The
Gathering
Online
eXchange

I see a lot of weird breakdowns of the domain name on these boards and in various articles online.

References using it incorrectly as a mountain:
The Week: http://theweek.com/article/index/216241/bitcoin-is-the-virtual-currency-for-online-drug-buys-doomed
NPR: http://www.npr.org/2011/05/24/136620231/what-are-bitcoins
PC World: http://www.pcworld.com/article/230084/us_senators_want_to_shut_down_bitcoins_currency_of_internet_drug_trade.html

Yahoo correctly identifies the origin, but calls it Mt. Gox anyway... >.<
