Albina

Albina is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Albinus, itself rooted in the Latin word albus, meaning white or bright. It was borne by several early Christian saints, most notably a third-century martyr venerated in Italy and France, which helped spread the name across medieval Europe. The name remains in use across a wide range of languages and cultures, including Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Slovene. Closely related forms include Albine, Albinia, and the masculine Albinus and Albin.
