In French the articles 'Le' and 'La' are respectively the masculine and feminine forms of the English equivalent 'The'. In the French language all nouns have gender, that means everything is either male or female; nothing is neuter.
Le garcon --- the boy
La fille----------the girl
La Mason-----the house
So (in French) if you see a name that starts with 'La' you know that it means
'The (something)'
For example: the famous hockey player 'Guy Lafleur' had a surname that meant
'The flower'
