Major Axis

Let $\EE$ be an ellipsoid.

The major axis of $\EE$ is the chord of $\EE$ which has the greatest length.

Minor Axis

Let $\EE$ be an ellipsoid.

The minor axis of $\EE$ is the diameter of $\EE$ which has the smallest length.

Mean Axis

Let $\EE$ be an ellipsoid.

The mean axis of $\EE$ is the diameter of $\EE$ which is perpendicular to both the major axis of $\EE$ and the minor axis of $\EE$.
