The glossary is XML Schema Part 1 defines both of these.

NCName
An NCName is a name with no colon, as defined in [XML-Namespaces]. When used
in connection with the XML representation of schema components in this
specification, this refers to the simple type NCName as defined in [XML
Schemas: Datatypes]

QName
A QName is a name with an optional namespace qualification, as defined in
[XML-Namespaces]. When used in connection with the XML representation of
schema components or references to them, this refers to the simple type
QName as defined in [XML Schemas: Datatypes]
