Thought it would be interesting to know that "Alba" is written and pronounced "Alba" in Romanian as well, meaning "white". There is also a very old town called "Alba" in Romania - Transylvania.
And out of the line, the only nations playing bagpipes for as long back as we can remember are Scotland and Romania. Love it...
This name is used in Catalan as well, where it also has the meaning of "dawn". [noted -ed]
I lived in Spain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I remember it becoming really popular in the 1990s.
While the name "Alba" does mean "dawn" in Spanish and Italian, and it is feminine in both languages, "Alba" is also a family name in my family, and should be listed as a masculine name in English.
