If this uses QtQuick I would suggest that it be part of the name.

QML is a more generic term, used for thing that can be used by a QML engine. 
Usually components without UI, like data sources, sensors, models, timers etc.
Things that can be used outside a UI context or with any UI component set 
(QtQuick, Cascasdes, Widgets and so on).
