Male 15pin Monitor Cable to HDMI Cable

I have a monitor with a 15pin Male connector that I need to adapt to a HDMI cable so it will work with my MacBook Pro. Is there a certain name for this adapter? Or is it simply called a 15pin to HDMI? Thanks.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

"Don't use the HDMI port. The Thunderbolt port is also a display port. Just get a mini-display port/thunderbolt to VGA adapter. "

Those Thunderbolt to VGA adapters are WAY more expensive than the HDMI route when you want a decent sized cable. Even though you need an extra adapter the HDMI route you can get a larger cable and it's much less expensive. Is there a specific reason you suggested the thunderbolt route?
