  • I think we can choose the name of a famous cartographer whose name is easy to pronounce in any language.

    And then,

    [Cartographer Name] + ["Maps" in your language]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cartographers

    • Under the 15th century heading, "Piri", the cartographer who prepared the top map among the sample maps shown there, would be a good name.

      Or maybe, "Orbis" and "Battista" under the 16th century heading.

      So Piri Maps, Orbis Maps, Battista Maps, etc.

      • battista is long and would often be spelled wrong. Piri and Orbis are fine, but Orbis sounds better and starts with an O XD

        Note that there is a university library software called orbis, but well you cant avoid that

      • Orbis makes me think of something sciency like the earth is in orbit or an orb. I like that

    • Males me think of Jacques Cartier whose surname sounds like Cartes (French for map).
