Ada is not an acronym - it was named after a woman, Lady Ada Lovelace, the
first programmer. Ada the woman has a very colorful history too!
See the Ada home page
<http://www.adahome.com>
and the Ada Information Clearinghouse
<http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC>
for the info you're looking for.
There's a paper about the history of the language at
<http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/pol-hist/history/histada.txt>
Also, Bill Whitacker wrote a paper which appears in the History Of
Programming Languages II.
