Wait, there is something else before. Before the appearing of job titles like UX Designer, we already had the web designer in the 90s, the UI Designer and the Visual Designer, these roles existed before an they were actually owning the digital segment.

When in 99 NNgroup went online, the roles above absorbed some elements from the teaching of NNgroup via Norman/Nielsen books, articles and the usability week and experience week.

When NNgroup began to use the term UX Design, after using UED, you already had web designers, ui designers and visual designers changing their titles in UX Web Designer and UI/UX Designer (we are again before 2010)

"UX Design" already existed, it was the new job title of the UX Architect before UI Architect, before Usability Specialist, Usabilty Analyst etc.
