- Ada Meaning
- Short form of Adelaide and other names beginning with the same sound. This name was borne by Augusta Ada King (1815-1852), the Countess of Lovelace (known as Ada Lovelace), a daughter of Lord Byron. She was an assistant to Charles Babbage, the inventor of an early mechanical computer. Ada originates in Germanic languages and means "graceful and noble". It can be a diminutive of Adelaide or other names starting in Ada- or Ade-, for example Adeline. Ada was probably popularized by the Countess of Lovelace, George Gordon Byron"s daughter. There were also several saints of this name.
