Hello everyone, have you ever thought of it when you see the press or conference of the Apple mobile phone, or when you use the Apple mobile phone:Why is only the P in the six letters "iPhone" capitalized?
There are different interpretations of this way of writing, after all, we don't know how Jobs decided at that time!
However, some netizens who are engaged in related industries stood up and said: Oops, isn't this itHump nomenclatureWhat's the matter!
What is the hump nomenclature?
Camel caseis a naming convention that is commonly used for:Programming and identifier naming
Hump nomenclatureThis naming convention is characterized by concatenating multiple words together, where the first letter of each word except the first word is capitalized, and there are no spaces or other separators between the words.
This makes the identifier look similar to the hump shape of a camel, hence the name hump nomenclature.
Hump nomenclature is usually divided into two forms:
Pascal caseIn the Great Hump nomenclature, the first letter of each word is capitalized and does not contain spaces or other separators.
This naming method is commonly used for class names, type names, method names, and so on. For example: myclass.
Camel caseIn the hump nomenclature, the first letter of the first word is lowercase, and the first letter of the subsequent word is capitalized, again without spaces or other separators.
This naming method is often used for variable names, function names, and so on. For example: myvariable.
According to the above classification, the naming of the iPhone belongs to the small hump nomenclature.
The story behind the brand name
In addition to the iPhone, many brands have an interesting story behind their naming:
Coca-ColaThe name of this globally renowned beverage brand is derived from two main ingredients, coca le**es and kola nuts.
Originally, Coca-Cola was a drug whose founder, John Stuth Bode, coined the name after experimenting with different ingredients and used it to market the drink.
LEGO (Lego).The name of this famous toy brand comes from the Danish word "leg godt", which means "to have fun".
Founder Ole Kirk Christiansen started out as a wooden toy, which later evolved into the Lego bricks we know today.

Sony (Sony).Sony is derived from the Latin word "sonus" and the popular word "sonny" in "sonny boy" at the time.
However, the Japanese may pronounce it "sonni", and because of the fear that the Japanese will associate the Japanese word "loss" (pronounced son in Japanese), Sony founder Akio Morita decided to remove an "n" and replace it with "sony".
This is in line with the style of Akio Morita, who prides himself on having a hearty nature, and is said to mean "a young but playful little boy".

AmazonThe name of Amazon, the e-commerce giant, is not directly associated with the rainforest Amazon.
Founder Jeff Bezos chose the name because it starts with an "a" in the alphabet in the hope that the company will be at the top of the internet search.
In addition, Amazon also represents the concept of scale, diversity, and exploration.
