The Old Slavonic word “lad” means harmony, goodness, correctness, well-being. Everything should be fine in the family, but if something bad happens, things become bad in the family, discord sets in. Adjust, settle, - do as it should - all these words have the root -lad-. So the goddess Lada was responsible for everything good, good and correct - she performed many functions - the goddess of agriculture, fertility, the goddess of family happiness.
