Me either, so I looked up too. Apparently also called Upper Camel Case, which, like you, I already do.

I thought camelCase is like that, first lower then upper after?

Maybe. I’d never heard of either before today. But I do know what a pilcrow is 😉

Just double checked. It seems upper camel case is each start letter is upper case, ForExampleThis, and camel can vary eg iPhone.

Camel the first word in the string is always lower, following words are upper, hence camel. Pascal every word including the first is upper

According to wikipedia it depends on the environment you're using it in: "Some people and organizations, notably Microsoft, use the term camel case only for lower camel case, designating Pascal case for the upper camel case." But that's not universal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_c...

camelCase starts with a lower-case letter, UpperCamelCase starts with an upper-case letter, and is thus the same thing as PascalCase, it's just one of those things of people arriving at the same thing by differing routes.
