There's nothing to research.  I meant to say "cipher suite class names",
and these are not surprisingly names of classes of cipher suites.  That
is names you can use in an OpenSSL cipherlist that match multiple cipher
suites.

  aNULL  - anonymous cipher suites
  aRSA   - cipher suites with RSA certificate authentication.
  eNULL  - cipher suites with no encryption
  kEECDH - cipher suites with EECDH (ECDHE) key exchange.
  AES    - cipher suites that use AES payload encryption.
  ...

each of which matches a set of ciphers suites whose elements have
names that correspond to a single combination of algorithms, such as:

  RC4-SHA
  AES128-SHA
  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384     (OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later)

  $ openssl ciphers -v 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:AES128-SHA:RC4-SHA'
  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH     Au=ECDSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA384
  AES128-SHA              SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA1
  RC4-SHA                 SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=RC4(128)  Mac=SHA1
