From www.thinkbabynames*com: The girl's name Ada is pronounced AY-dah. It is of Hebrew, Nigerian and Old German origin, and its meaning is 'adornment; first daughter; exalted nature.' Possibly a Latinate variant of the biblical name Adah, or a pet form of Adele and Adelaide - Germanic female names meaning 'noble.' The name was borne by a seventh-century abbess of Saint Julien des Prés at Le Mans. Not in common use before the late 18th century. Ayda (Arabic) means 'benefit.' Ada has 16 variant forms: Adah, Adan, Adda, Addi, Addie, Addiah, Addy, Ade, Adey, Adi, Adia, Adiah, Adie, Aida, Aidah and Ayda. For more information, see also the related name Adamina.
