We originally spelled it qaml which stood for quality assurance, machine learning. That wasn't obvious to anyone and everyone would pronounce it as "qwamel" which we hated so we decided on camelQA instead. Thanks for the question. I was waiting for someone to ask it!

I noticed the first letter in camelQA is very explicitly lower-case. I just assumed someone on the team had very strong opinions about camelCase.
