What does Alban mean?
Alban 
as a boys' name is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Alban is "from Alba". From the Latin name Albanus, which may be an ethnic name from a city in the Roman Empire called Alba "white". It may also represent a Latin form of a British name derived from the Celtic word "alp" for "rock, crag". The first Christian martyr on British soil was Saint Alban (third century), after which a cathedral town (which is also a pilgrimage destination) is named. The name is also possibly derived from Albion, a poetic name for Britain.
