The girl from number 50A (4)

I believe the answer is:

nola

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the girl' is the definition.

'from number 50a' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'no' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'number' becomes 'L' (L is an example).
'50a' becomes 'a'.
'no'+'l'+'a'='NOLA'

Can you help me to learn more?
