Quick question: Does this graph have a name?

But now I wonder: Is this some standard way of displaying data and if so, does it have a name? (like Histogram, Box plot etc.) I need to explain the plot to people so knowing a bit more about what exactly this is, would certainly help ;-) Thanks a lot!
A far better approach to this stacked bar chart would be a two-way dot chart which would also allow the inclusion of margins of error on the point estimates.
