Albina

Albina derives from the Latin family name Albinus, itself rooted in the Latin word albus, meaning white or bright. The name was borne by several early Christian saints, most notably a 3rd-century martyr venerated in Italy and France, which helped spread its use across medieval Europe. It appears across numerous European traditions and languages, with the accented form Albína found in Czech and Slovak usage. Related masculine forms include Albinus and Albin, and the name shares its Latin root with Alba and Albino.
