camel case

Mid-word capital letters

Camel case is a naming convention in programming where spaces are removed and each word after the first begins with a capital letter: firstName, backgroundColor, getElementById.

The humps of uppercase letters in the middle of the word suggest a camel's back.

When the first letter is also capitalized (FirstName), it's sometimes called Pascal case.
