Al

Al is a gender-neutral name with Celtic, English, and German roots. Today, it's found in all sorts of Western cultures, from Germany to the UK, with parents drawn to its meaning of "harmony," from the Celtic Alun. As a nickname for the Old English names Albert and Alberta, Al can mean "noble" and "bright," so it's ideal for encouraging baby to set a good example for the people around him. Al can also be a diminutive of the German name Alaric, which means "all-powerful ruler." Whether you use Al as a given name or a nickname, the sky is the limit when it comes to baby's potential.
