        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.

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

      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?”
