A lot of Dada art tends to be very nonsensical. Some will argue that "Dada" means "hobbyhorse" in French. However, "Dada" was more likely just recognized as baby talk, or something a baby might say. It was the name that made the least amount of sense, which was perfect because that is a Dada characteristic.
