This is controlled with the option InputAutoReplacements.  The Text cell
style, as defined in the Default.nb style sheet, has the following
suboptions as part of this option's value.

"mma"->"Mathematica" 
"Mma"->"Mathematica" 
"MMA"->"Mathematica"

You can disable this effect by removing these suboptions from the Text
cell prototype in your notebook's style sheet.
