I did some web research: "The original "Mona Lisa" is generally believed to be a portrait of Lisa, Francesco del Giocondo's 30-year old wife. ("Mona," or "M'lady," was title of respect in 16th century Florence.) In fact, the painting is known in Europe as "La Gioconda" or the "merry one," a play-on-words involving her last name and her smile."

Sorry, can not provide a photo of the Portland Museum of Art, La Gioconda...for the comparison. Have searched!
