If we must quibble over meta-nomenclature... http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ : """ The following naming styles are commonly distinguished: [...] * CapitalizedWords (or CapWords, or CamelCase -- so named because of the bumpy look of its letters [3]). […] * mixedCase (differs from CapitalizedWords by initial lowercase character!) """ The term "TitleCase" does not make an appearance in the document.
