The JavaFX Script™ (hereinafter referred to as JavaFX) language is a declarative and statically typed scripting language. It has first-class functions, declarative syntax, list-comprehensions, and incremental dependency-based evaluation.
Most likely it stands for Java "special EFF-ECTS" as FX is normally the abbreviation given to special effects mostly sound or visual.
