Three of the original signers of the Agile Manifesto are also the main people involved with creating XP[1][2][3].
The Agile Manifesto was just a bunch of people who were already doing XP, Scrum or some other lightweight process getting together and writing down the similarities between what they were doing. It's a blanket term invented to describe a variety of different processes, not an actual process.
