Why the name?
The name Ryujinx is based on the name "Ryujin."
In other words, a name for a Mythical (Sea-God) Dragon.

The name stems from Ryu (as already explained), then RyuJIT;
which is the codename for the JIT compiler for Net Core.
The NX part of the name is from the Codename of the Switch itself.
