According to Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki, "NCC" stands for "Federation Starship, Active Duty." Link below.

From Wikipedia:
NCC doesn't stand for anything. It was devised by Matt Jefferies, art director of the first Star Trek series. Jefferies, who is a pilot, based NCC on 20th century aircraft registration codes. In such 20th century usage, an "N" first letter refers to an aircraft registered in the USA. A "C" second letter refers to a civil aircraft. Jefferies added a second "C", just because he thought it looked better. Think of it as being like the arbitrary three-letter code that's part of automobile license plate numbers in many states.

The short version is that it originally didn't mean anything.
But now NCC has become the designation of most "ships of the line" or non-experimental ships of the Federation starfleet. The over time it has been suggested that NCC stands for Naval Contract Construction
NX is the designation for prototype or experimental ships of the Federation starfleet.

Not sure what its stands for, but it represents those starships that are currently active.
