Originally it was named Maté, but it looks like they just call it MATE these days.

I'm not sure Ubuntu will pick up mate into the official repos (i dont really understand why, they have enough other DEs and WMs in there).
You can just install it from http://mate-desktop.org/install/#ubuntu on top of a standard ubuntu, which seems fairly popular (1300 installs on popcon) http://popcon.ubuntu.com/unknown/by_inst , Or just use MINT.
