There's a few different views, with the most popular ones being:

World Rally Cross Country
World Rally Xtreme
World Rally eXperiment

Or X just meaning 4/AWD

WRX is shrot for World Rally Cross. The model of which this car takes the name WRX is the one and only Impreza. The makers of the Impreza goes by the name of Subaru.
A few subaru acronyms

WRX - World Rally Cross
STi - Subaru Tecnica Internacional
RA - Racing group A (pretty much means lightweight)
DCCD - drive controlled center differential
AVCS - Active valve control system

Remember, Subaru is Japanese, and so the translation may be Engrish.

But it is correct nick

There is no other official line, The FQ was a UK only version but the japs actially think it stands for fine quality
