Actually, "faraway" is a whole word, used as an adjective as a location, e.g. "exotic faraway places".
I feel you wouldn't use it for actual locations, though, e.g. "it was too far away from me".

You'll note that I characterized "Ethiopianwolf" as being even more confusing than "Faraway", since "wolf" is definitely a separate word and it isn't clear whether "away" is or not. That unclarity still makes it difficult to communicate the capitalization in the case where capitalization matters.
Are they actually case-sensitive, though? Randomly capitalizing words seems to have no effect to me (unless iOS is sneakily autocorrecting it), so it's something of a moot point.

Capitalizing random letters in the URL didn't have any effect for me either. So I'm a little confused as to why they show the capitalization they do, but I withdraw the idea that there's a usability problem.
So this string is easier to pronounce, but it's actually fairly tricky to communicate and error-check.
