"The earliest use of the name "Camel Case" occurs in 1995, in a post by Newton Love. "With the advent of programming languages having these sorts of constructs, the humpiness of the style made me call it HumpyCase at first, before I settled on CamelCase. I had been calling it CamelCase for years. ... The citation above was just the first time I had used the name on USENET."[
The term "Pascal Case" was coined in design discussions for the .NET Framework, first released in 2002

@print@theforkiverse.com @crabby@mastodon.world Even more reason for CamelCase then! ^~ Pretty sure both of them are older; but since I have no reference to back it up I'll just leave it there. :3
