It's just the airport code the International Air Transport Association (IATA) assigned the airport and is not because there is an "o" and the end of San Francisco. There is no "X" at the end of Los Angeles but it's called LAX. New Orleans's airport code is MSY.
It's just the code that the IATA assigns the airport in SF.

O on the end of Francisco. So it doesn't get mixed up with Santa Fe, New Mexico

Better question would be: why is Sioux City Iowa's airport code: SUX ?

I don't know... probably because it makes sense. SF is too few letters. So S-F-O just makes sense.
