The ARRL Antenna Book says:

"Although the solid pattern of an antenna cannot be shown adequately on a
flat sheet of paper, cross-sectional or plane diagrams are very useful. 
Two such diagrams, one in the plane containing the axis of the antenna
and one in the plane perpendicular to the axis, can give a great deal of
information.  The former is called the E-plane pattern and the latter the
H-plane pattern.  These designations are used because they represent the
planes in which the electric (symbol E), and the magnetic (symbol H)
lines of force lie, respectively."

All electromegnetic waves have both E-plane and H-plane components and,
as George pointed out, "You can't have one without the other".
