nope. It's because the object represents a package manager etc.
However it's true that names of subpackages are often used.

A variable containing an instance of F3\TYPO3\Domain\Model\Content\Page
would just be called "$page" and not "$domainModelContentPage".

Another example is an instance of "ReflectionClass". That's actually a  
weak PHP name because it actually is not litterraly a "reflection  
class" or "reflection method" but a "class reflection" or "reflection  
of a class".

Therefore the variable could be named $classReflection or just $class  
if we assume that the reflection of a class is as good as the class  
itself.
