UFC was a prefix used when assigning numerical designations to stars and stellar bodies. UFC 8177 and UFC 9364 were among the stars that had designations of this sort. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

It seems likely that this stands for "United Federation Catalog", or something similar. Besides being used in an on-screen okudagram graphic, this designation originated in a non-canon source several years earlier, Shane Johnson's The Worlds of the Federation.
