It all started with the 360. That was called it because they didn't want to be a number behind the Playstation. But this left them with needing to think of new games for future consoles.

So the Xbox One rolls around. That was named because they wanted it to be your one entertainment box. That didn't age well. They added S and X to differentiate the new models of the Xbox One.

I think Xbox Series is their attempt to try and basically have a consistent naming scheme for the future. S and X worked for Xbox One so they stuck with that. S is standard/budget and X is premium. I think the intention is for future consoles to follow phone naming paths. So like Series S2 and X2 or something.
