Origin and meaning of Alba
Alba comes from the Latin albus, 'white,' giving alba, 'first light of day, dawn': a luminous, poetic name evoking new beginnings and hope. It is popular above all in Italy and Spain, where it has a long tradition and is much appreciated today. Simple, sweet and instantly clear across the Romance languages, it calls to mind the delicacy of daybreak and a sense of renewal that suits a baby girl beautifully.
