Yes, here you have a freeCodeCamp post about BEM (Block-Element-Modifier). It's not really easy to use, I recommend to practice with it and you'll finally get used to it and know how to use it properly.

That's the most common thing when writing CSS classes I think.

SMACCS talks about naming conventions on CSS classes too, but it's not the main focus of the book.

Anyways, there are some others like ABEM and OOCSS. I didn't try them though.

PS: I forgot to say, if you work with Bootstrap, or something alike, you will use the predefined classes that come with it.
