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]

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

I'll duplicate it here

And some ideas with the help of AI: COLABMAP (Collaborative Open Libre Access Based Mapping Application Platform) **COMMAP **Community Oriented Modern Mapping Access Project
to be honest, no word makes me completely satisfied.
Carbon Maps
A play on organic meaning carbon-based (as in organic chemistry). Also I feel like it should be easy(ish) for speakers of other languages to pronounce. I may be wrong though!

Could you split it up so that it's one name per comment please? To make voting easier
Sure thing! I have the split the options into multiple comments.
Oh um. I mean like each comment is completely independent. That way when people vote the top level comments are ordered appropriately
+1 Folk Maps
I like folk maps, really gives the correct community/citizen cartography vibe

Maple
Idk, but Maple might be protected, as it's already the name of a symbolic math software.

Map Again

"There is freedom within, there is freedom without"
"Don’t dream it’s over"
Seems appropriate for an Organic Maps fork 😄
My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.
I'm not sure what you mean by that
Organic Maps was born as a fork of Maps.Me, because the owner/developer went closed source. And the same thing is happening again, forking the same thing for a similar reason again...
@CubeOfCheese
The first part is a reference to my general feeling of deja vu.
The second is a reference to these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here/_WeGo
Oh that's actually really funny
