Do you mean "Maj7" and "min7" or "minMaj7"?

CMaj7 = C-E-G-B
Cmin7 = C-Eb-G-Bb
CminMaj7 = C-Eb-G-B (This chord F#minMaj9) is used in the intro of "Glory to the Highest", by Noel Jones

That's just the "correct" theory term for the dominant 7th chord.  It basically just spells out what you have, a major chord plus a minor 7th on top.  Example:

C major/minor 7th or C dominant 7th (C7) = C major chord plus minor 7th = C-E-G + Bb = C-E-G-Bb

There is only one major/minor 7th.  Then, there is the Major 7th, Minor 7th, Minor/Major 7th, Half-Diminished 7th, and fully Diminished 7th.  Quick run through of those:

C major 7th (CM7) = C major plus major 7th = C-E-G + B = C-E-G-B

C minor 7th (Cm7) = C minor plus minor 7th = C-Eb-G + Bb = C-Eb-G-Bb

C minor/major 7th (CM7) = Cm/M7 (I think, LOL) = C-Eb-G + B = C-Eb-G-B

C half-diminished 7th (Cm7 (b5)) = C diminished plus minor 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bb = C-Eb-Gb-Bb

C fully diminished 7th (Cdim7) = C diminished plus diminished 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bbb = C-Eb-Gb-Bbb

C half-diminished 7th (Cm7 (b5)) = C diminished plus minor 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bb = C-Eb-Gb-Bb

C fully diminished 7th (Cdim7) = C diminished plus diminished 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bbb = C-Eb-Gb-Bbb

T...I think you made a typo by listing the same chord 2 times.

C major 7th (CM7) = C major plus major 7th = C-E-G + B = C-E-G-B

C minor 7th (Cm7) = C minor plus minor 7th = C-Eb-G + Bb = C-Eb-G-Bb

Cdom7th (C7) = C major plus minor 7th = C-E-G + Bb = C-E-G-Bb as posted by you at the beginning of post

C minor/major 7th (CmM7) = Cm/M7 (I think, LOL) = C-Eb-G + B = C-Eb-G-B

C half-diminished 7th (Cm7 (b5)) = C diminished plus minor 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bb = C-Eb-Gb-Bb

C fully diminished 7th (Cdim7) = C diminished plus diminished 7th = C-Eb-Gb + Bbb = C-Eb-Gb-Bbb

It's not really a typo, I just listed the same chord twice, LOL.  I took care of it, thanks for catching that.
