Here is the official story from A/DA:

We could not think of a name when we were filing for a business license a long time ago, so my friend Art Hicks suggested "Analog/Digital Associates."
The slash is from the electronics industry:  Analog/Digital Converters.
We dropped the slash when the company was restarted because the internet was using a slash for special purposes.
Now it's just ADA.   BTW we had our logo before the American Dental Association created theirs, which looked very close to our logo.  We still get calls from people looking for American Disability Act offices.
