As I have understood it the world "Axis" comes from the Hungarian minister of forgein affairs, who wanted to create an Alliance between Germany, Italy and Hungary.
This would kinda form an axis through Europe.
Not sure if it was used by anyone else though. Probably was since it got so wide spread.

Yes. It was based around an idea that after they joined together, the world would revolve around the Rome-Berlin Axis.

It's derived from a speech made by Mussolini, but otherwise no.
