"La Fayette" has been used in many different familes as given names for their sons. I think that it is probably from the popularity of the French nobleman who aided General George Washington during the American Revolution. That name has also been used for counties and towns in various states such as La Fayette, GA.,Fayette Co., TX,etc.
