Camel case

From HaskellWiki

This is a convention for naming identifiers. Identifiers start with a lower case letter and words are separated by capital letters rather than underscores. So, for example, one would use rather than .

See also Studly capitals.

It is an open question on how to name acronyms using this scheme. Some prefer while others prefer . The former is arguably more accurate and certainly more popular, but can get ugly. It's also not obvious how to name an identifier which starts with an acronym.
