Computer programmer Lovelace (3)

I believe the answer is:

ada

(Other definitions for ada that I've seen before include "Novel by Vladimir Nabokov" , "Computer language; girl's name" , "Girl's name, one letter short of a man's name" , "Woman" , "-- Lovelace, pioneer in computing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
