I'm new, and would like to start off by finding out information on the name LaPolla or lapolla?
Thank you, Jerry LaPolla
what about l'apolla?silviap said:Actually, I don't think "LaPolla" has anything to do with "pollo", I guess it has a different etymology, but you'd need an expert for that.
Good luck!
