Lovelace
About Lovelace
What better namesake for a baby girl than Ada Lovelace (or, to use her full title: Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace), the brilliant 19th-century writer, mathematician and early computer pioneer? Not to mention, her name has a lovely, delicate, vintagesque charm.
Surprisingly, the soft and sweet sounding surname Lovelace actually derives from an Old English word laweles, meaning "lawless, outlaw".
Pronounced LUV-lace.
Editor's take: The name Lovelace is a girl's name meaning "outlaw".
