Ada
Three-letter programming language
Ada is a feminine given name, derived from a Germanic element meaning "noble." It gained literary prominence through Lord Byron's daughter Ada Lovelace, often credited as the first computer programmer.
The name has seen periodic revivals: Ada was born in 1885 and again became popular in the 2010s.
Ada also appears as a place name for towns in Oklahoma, Ohio, and other states. (Lowercase ada refers to the programming language.)
