Mappa

Unfortunately there seems to be a number of existing software with this name.

Admittedly I only did a 30 second search and got the aforementioned Japanese company and something to do with the UK government. I thought it was probably too good to be true.

It's a great name. A lot of people seem to agree 😄

Edited the original comment to comply with the rules. Cut 'n' paste of reasoning:

It's the Latin word for map, at least according to Google, and there doesn't appear to be any similar entities using the name, just a Japanese animation studio.

It also rolls nicely off the tongue. "Have you checked on Mappa?"

Like Cuppa for a cup of tea

Mappa is also italian for map. People of saints, poets and navigators, says the saying
