Rationale
Several reasons support the name plate carrée:
- Originator is unknown. Aujac et al (1987) dispute the interpretation that credits Eratosthenes. Ptolemy credits Marinus of Tyre.
- The projection is so obvious as to render attribution meaningless.
- Alternatives geographic projection and unprojected are solecisms.
- Alternative plane chart is descriptive, but chart is anachronistic when applied to small-scale maps.
- In modern texts, plate carrée carries no ambiguity.
