The 'X' surname Malcolm takes up represents a variable, a blank, just like in math. It represents the change from him embracing Islam and releasing himself of his slave name, Little. He seems to finally be able to fit in, regardless of whether it is society in terms of American, but rather the society based around The nation of islam.
He has found his calling and has relieved himself of all past moral issues and other issues that he once faced, especially as a youth. All in all, X is a marker, a new change for him, and shows the second phase of his live.
