No one knows for sure. It is believed to be a portrait of a Florentine lady by the name of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a merchant. Monna means Mrs. Some art historians have suggested that it is da Vinci's self-portrait.
Mona Lisa is a famous painting of a sitting woman by Leonardo da vinci. Mona Lisa is named for Lisa del Giocondo, a member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany, Italy and the wife of wealthy Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. The painting was commissioned for their new home and to celebrate the birth of their second son, Andrea.
Well you probably refer Mona Lisa as the painting because you said, 'it' so I am not going to tell you why Mona Lisa(the person) was named.
Mona Lisa(the painting) was just named Mona Lisa because that is the name of the woman inside the painting. :)
she was a very famous woman back, back then. Her name was Mona Lisa, so the painter called it in quote "Mona Lisa". The painter could have not known what to call the painting, so he just called it the name of the woman her self.
There are theories it could be that the woman painted was Lisa Gherardini and Monna means Mrs
Lisa was her name. Mona means Mrs.

It was drawn or painted because Leo wants to paint himself as a female.

No there is not.
Oh my goodness! The Mona Lisa is like my favourite painting. I love how in The Sarah Jane Adventures the Mona Lisa painting comes to life and Mona Lisa tries to find her long lost brother which was in a painting which was so terrible and scary it had been locked away. Anyway, the author of the Mona Lisa painting is Leonardo da Vinci. He is such a good painter and here's a painting to prove it!
