It was stolen and then people made rumors about it. Then they found it againand the rumors never died.

For a couple of reasons:
Context - at the time, it was the first painting to use one point perspective in a portrait. He also broke tradition with having her at a 3/4 angle, and it was very scandalous for a unmarried woman to look someone in the eye. (Remember, 1503)
It was widely known among artists, and it changed painting in Europe when it was displayed. DaVinci was a famous artists even while alive, so his works were famous just because of his name.
But, the general public really wasn't that aware of it, until it was stolen, in 1911, then it became "famous", and has been a thing since.
