People often say that there is a russian mafia. This is not true, there is a form of organized crime in Russia, they are too reckless and trigger happy to be considered "Men Of Honor" as the sicilians say.
There is however a jappenese mafia known as the Yakurza, but they to hold the same title as italian wanna be.

Ma Fia
When the mafia was formed and it's name given they called it the mafia. In the Itallian language the phrase ma fia is my daughter.

The true meaning of the mafia's name and why it forms the phrase "my daughter" will never be known.
