X refers to an organized gang of professional assassins who traveled in groups across India for 600 years.

X were provided to Chinese soldiers as early as the mid-19th century. During the Taiping revolt (1851–66), both the Imperialists and those Taiping rebels wearing a uniform wore a wooden X at the belt, bearing the soldier's name, age, birthplace, unit, and date of enlistment. The first official advocacy of issuing identification tags took place in 1899. Chaplain Charles C. Pierce, who was tasked to establish the Quartermaster Office of Identification in the Philippines, recommended inclusion of an "identity disc" in the combat field kit as the answer to the need for standard identification. The Army Regulations of 1913 made identification tags mandatory, and by 1917, all combat soldiers wore aluminum discs on chains around their necks. By World War II, the circular disc was replaced by the oblong shape familiar to us today, generally referred to as X.

The story of X begins in Padua, Italy in 1709, in the shop of a harpsichord maker named Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori. Many other stringed and keyboard instruments preceded X and led to the development of the instrument as we know it today. The earliest of these were dulcimer which led to the development of the clavichord, then followed by the spinet, virginal, clavecin, gravicembalo, and finally, the harpsichord in the 15th century. First exhibited in Florence in 1709, Cristofori’s new instrument was named gravicembalo col X e forte. His earliest surviving X dates from 1720 and is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The hobby of collecting X is known as Cartophily. These were originally given away in cigarette packets as a marketing gimmick, primarily to encourage people to buy more cigarettes. The origins of X can be traced back to 1880’s America, when 'stiffeners' were put into paper packets in order to stiffen the packaging and protect the cigarettes from being crushed and bent. In 1888 W.D.& H.O. Wills became the first British cigarette manufacturer to include X originally for advertising purposes.

Odd Nerdrum is a Norwegian figurative painter. Subjects of Nerdrum's paintings are often dressed as if from another time and place. Nerdrum says that his art should be understood as X rather than art as such. "On X", a manifesto composed by Nerdrum describes the distinction he makes between X and art. Nerdrum's philosophy has spawned the "X Movement" among his students and followers, who call themselves X painters rather than artists. X originated in the art markets of Munich in the 1860s and the 1870s, describing cheap, popular, and marketable pictures and sketches.
