They are namespace prefixes - MSDN documentation[^]

x: is likely to be

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

m: is likely to be

C#

xmlns:m="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF">

Have a look at the top of your XAML and you will see the namespaces you are using listed in the Window tag.

In your example x:Type is used instead of Type to distinguish it from the one in

xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
