Well I only know a few things and they're really not that helpful. I know there was a link on here once that had a site telling what the prefix, suffix, and certain letters all meant but I searched and can't find it anymore. As you probably know, a T in the prefix means turbo, and I want to say that an "FE" suffix means more cruising/touring engine that a sporty engine, I could be wrong though.
I'm with you though, I've been trying to memorize engine codes too recently.

the first number i believe is the generation of the enigine
the next letters two are tell the model
then then the G or F tells wheter it is a performance heads or fuel efficent heads
T for turbo
Z for supercharger
example 1uzfe
1st gen
UZ engine model
FE - fuel efficent heads
1jzgte
1st gen
JZ -model
GTE - turboed with performance heads

1UZ-FE: Translation
UZ = Block/Engine Family - v8
1 = series (i.e. 3UZ, 2UZ, etc) 1 = 4.0 2=4.7 3=4.3
F = 4 valve/cyl head design 32v. (F - Economy, G - Performance) G head is a true DOHC/Twin cam design)
E = Electronic Fuel Injection
2JZ-GTE: Translation
2 = 3.0L (1 = 2.5L)
JZ= 6 cylinder inline block
G= performance 4valve/cyl head 24v
T= Turbocharged
E = Electronic Fuel Injection
Also... X= Hybrid (1NZ-FXE - Prius 1.5L HSD, 3MZ-FXE RX400h) , Z= Supercharged (4A-GZE - 1.6L AW MR2 Supercharged)

like the 1zz and 2zz both are 1.8l, but the 1zz was first
and the UZ and JZ are just the engine models, i was giving an easy explanation to figure out how to encode a different engine
like the 4age
4th gen model of the A motor, with performance heads, and electronic fuel injection
