  1. Hungarian notation

    Hungarian notation is an identifier naming convention in computer programming in which the name of a variable or function indicates its intention or kind, or in some dialects, its type. The original Hungarian notation uses only intention or kind in its naming convention and is sometimes called Apps Hungarian as it became popular in the Microsoft Apps division in the development of Microsoft Office applications. When the Microsoft Windows division adopted the naming convention, they based it on the actual data type, and this convention became widely spread through the Windows API; this is sometimes called Systems Hungarian notation. Hungarian notation was designed to be language-independent, and found its first major use with the BCPL programming language. Because BCPL has no data types other than the machine word, nothing in the language itself helps a programmer remember variables' types. Wikipedia

    The notation was refered to as Hungarian originally as a criticism. At first glance, identifiers using Hungarian Notation appear to be gibberish until the pattern is deduced. Friends of Simonya compared Simonya's notation convention to some obscure foreign language and since Simonya is Hungarian, that was the obscure foreign language refered to.
