Help Understanding Types of Spectrum Used in Mobile Networks

Been doing some research into the spectrum each major network operator owns in the US. I found this interesting table. https://imgur.com/a/MIvnI5o . Unfortunately, this table also makes me realize how little I know about spectrum... I thought spectrum was "named/described" by numbers (eg 600MHz and 700MHz is low band, 2.5GHz is mid-band, etc), but most of the labels in this table are acronyms (AWS, WCS, BRS, etc).

Do those acronyms somehow align to different numbers (i.e. where is Sprints 2.5GHz spectrum in this table, is it one of the acronyms?).
