Albie

Albie is an English diminutive of Albert, which derives from the Old High German name Adalbert, composed of the elements adal, meaning noble, and beraht, meaning bright or famous. It has long been used as an affectionate short form in British English, gaining some independent use as a given name in its own right. Albert itself was popularized in English-speaking countries through Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria. Related forms include Albert, Al, and Bert.
