Best Answer

It's French for "Our Lady" and refers to the Virgin Mary.

The official name of the American university that uses that name is "The University of Notre Dame du Lac," or "our lady of the lake," named for the lakes on Notre Dame's campus. The land on which the university stands was originally the site of a mission established by French Jesuits.
