CamelCase


 
 

CamelCase is a common name for the practice of writing compound words or phrases where the words are joined without spaces, and each word is capitalized within the compound. This practice is known by a large variety of names, including BiCapitalization, InterCaps, MixedCase, etc, and many of its users do not ascribe a name to it at all. Editors of the Oxford English Dictionary describe words using this format as having medial capitals.

CamelCase is a standard identifier naming convention for several programming languages, and has become fashionable in marketing for names of products and companies. Outside these contexts, however, CamelCase is rarely used in formal written English, and most style guides recommend against it.
