  |By Google. Exactly what their algorithm is for it is not known. The "X-"

Note that the X- prefix is deprecated by RFC 6648 from 2012:

   Deprecating the "X-" Prefix and Similar Constructs in Application Protocols

That's the headline of the RFC, but from my reading of the RFC text in RFC6648 they only deprecated the X- naming convention due to issues when migrating non standardized headers to standardized headers after years or decades of use.

But there is no reason not to use the X- prefix for very site specific headers, like the X-Google- one above in the RFC.

The RFC IMHO addresses more the requirement of the X- prefix at least for headers that could possibly get standardized in future.

Kind regards
