HISTORY
The terms "upper case" and "lower case" originate from the layout of old printing presses, where the larger capital letters were stored in a separate compartment on the top ("upper case") while the smaller, more frequently used lowercase letters were kept in a lower compartment ("lower case") that was easier to access; essentially, the placement of the type cases dictated the terminology we use today.
