Lappish is a term based off of a sometimes offensive name used to describe the native people of Northern Europe. The term it's based on, "Lapp," was given to the people of the Sammi tribe, who reside with Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, with a few others scattered throughout the surrounding nations. "Lappish" refers to the language which they speak.
However, "Lapon" does not mean "Lappish" in English, but actually "Lapp." So, the unofficial official translation of Le Lapon Rouge is "The Red Lapp," or the politically correct version, "The Red Sammi." Also, according to his name, this may mean that Le Lapon Rouge actually ISN'T of French decent, but maybe just a Sammi that fought under Le Porc? Maybe that's what makes him so special.
That took brain power. I request a cookie.
