It stems from neofox, because neofox was made by volpeon, the same person who made blobfox (which is based on the big popular blobcat set)
Basically they created neofox as a replacement for blobfox like “what if I made fox emojis from scratch in my own style” so the neo literally means new
(I tried finding their original post because it explains it in their own words, but search on fedi may as well not exist)
