I don't think it's explained during the show and I was wondering about it. Has it some kind of meaning, or it's just a cool memorable nickname?

Mob in Japanese means someone who is invisible/a background character. That’s the meaning behind the name.

I think it was a nick name it was never really deeply explain but in google it shows and defines as some one who plays a minor role/ like a background ground character. It honestly seems yo correlate to his personality and how he approaches situations

Mobs are called the creachers in games that are there just for background and are not realy interactive with the player or have any significance whatsoever. Mobs are also called the huge groups in backround in anime that are there just to fill it. Shigeo sees himself exactli like this - a pointless existance that is there just to fill the background aka a MOB. Which is mentioned by reigen and that's why the nickname mob apeared.

The npc thing is right, but it’s an alternate pronunciation of the characters shigeo is spelled with

It's not a name, it's a nickname that comes from purposely misreading both kanji in 'Shigeo'. And as others have pointed out, mob characters (mobu kyara) are background characters. It's a loanword, or rather, wasei-eigo.
