Meaning & History
This name is derived from two distinct names, ALBA (2) and ALBA (3), with distinct origins, Latin and Germanic. Over time these names have become confused with one another. To further complicate the matter, alba means "dawn" in Italian and Spanish. This may be the main inspiration behind its use in Italy and Spain.
