Origin:Latin
Meaning:White land
Albion is a masculine name of Latin origin, meaning "white land." This moniker dates back to the 4th century BCE, as it is the earliest recorded name for the island of Great Britain. Ancient Greek and Roman geographers are believed to have coined the title, distinguishing the land of Albion from Ierne (Ireland) and other smaller British Isles. Albion’s meaning, “white land,” likely refers to the White Cliffs of Dover, a chalk-colored cliff face located on England’s coastline. With its rich history and connections to the land across the pond, Albion could be a lovely way to celebrate your and baby's English heritage.
