The director has said it was just a made up word for the movie.

Also this:

The group still needed a name, so MacKaye chose the word "fugazi" from Mark Baker's Nam, a compilation of stories of Vietnam War veterans, it there being a slang acronym for "Fncked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In [into a body bag]".
