It is the name of several geographical places in Spain (Cantabria, Salamanca, Las Palmas, Asturias, Cádiz), in Colombia (Cundinamarca, Atlantic), Panama (Veraguas), Chile (Quillota) or Venezuela (Falcón). It can also be a mistake by the feminine of lapeño (native of La Lapa, in Badajoz, Spain), or perhaps it is two words like la (article) and peña (various meanings).
