semantic class names are HTML class names deliberately chosen to reflect the meaning (semantics) of the content being marked up, rather than the presentation (style). semantic class names have been a part of a modern web design since 2002[1] (please research and add earlier citations if found), and are a part of the practice of semantic HTML authoring, also known as POSH.
