They are a form of Hungarian notation[0], made popular in MS Windows C code:
In its original form, Hungarian notation gives
semantic information about a variable, telling
you the intended use.
In this iteration, the Hungarian notation is encoded as "canonical suffix words for a class" instead of "canonical prefix characters for a variable."
Both uses are, in my not-so-humble opinion, anti-patterns to be avoided.
