I'm looking for a name for a Private Security Company that will operate in South America, possibly in Central America and the Caribbean as well. It should have been founded at some point between 2003 and 2012, by well-connected Argentinian men with intelligence, military and security experience. By now, it would be a fairly successful PSC, not a global conglomorate, but a respected regional company with maybe 500-2,000 employees, as well as several hundred contractors who sometimes supplement their forces for large jobs.

Helping them attain respectability, the company got several security contracts from the Catholic Church and various Argentine authorities, especially in the years 2012-2014. They still get a lot of security work from the Church, but after 2015, they no longer get as many public contracts from official Argentine institutions (believed to be related to the fact that several of the founders are former SIDE officers).

The name should be a reference to the founders' Catholic faith and/or patriotic Argentine symbology, but as they are licensed to operate in many other countries and employ Spanish-speaking staff from other Latin American nations, it shouldn't be offensive to any neighbouring cultures.

I was thinking something that referenced popular saints in South America or mayve something that translates as 'Southern Cross' or something similar.

Any suggestions?

Thoughts?
