Launched indeed as Madura. The story goes that that name was being claimed by another company, so the EA boss, who was travelling in Mexico at the time, wrote home to the office to request they find another "M" name. As it happened, the letter was postmarked "Morelia" (a Mexican state), so the office suggested that and boss agreed.
