With all due respect to Wikipedia

https://arshon.com/blog/eda-vs-cad-decoding-the-basics-of-de...

And if we're appealing to Wikipedia as an (inconsistent) authority, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_design_automation

"Electronic design automation (EDA), also referred to as electronic computer-aided design (ECAD),[1] is a category of software tools for designing electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards."

And

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KiCad

"KiCad (/ˈkiːˌkæd/ KEE-kad[7]) is a free software suite for electronic design automation (EDA)."

But KiCad did put CAD in their own name so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
