LBA stands for Logical Block Addressing -
logical block addressing
Logical block addressing is a technique that allows a computer to address a hard disk larger than 528 megabytes. A logical block address is a 28-bit value that maps to a specific cylinder-head-sector address on the disk. 28 bits allows sufficient variation to specify addresses on a hard disk up to 8.4 gigabytes in data storage capacity. Logical block addressing is one of the defining features of Enhanced IDE (EIDE), a hard disk interface to the computer bus or data paths.

Logical is, in fact, more logical than large. (Actually, there was at one point a "Large" setting that did the same thing as LBA, and I guess I tend to have some reisdual memory of that.) Started fingers typing before putting mind in gear -- it's a "senior" thing.
