My Fathers parents came from Poland. Does anyone the meaning of this name ? Does the "la" mean son or somethng to that order? Thanks Mary.

There are better Slavic experts than me on this board, but I'd guess (without looking it up) that it is related to the Latin 'pater' meaning "father" ...and your right, the endings usually are not very important, meaning something like little, from, son of, related to, etc.
