Albon is English in Origin.

Albon is a rare English given name and surname with Latin roots. It relates to Alban/Albin, ultimately from Latin albus “white, bright,” via Albanus “of Alba (Longa)” and Albinus. Through Norman French Aubin and Middle English spellings such as Albon/Albone, the form arose as a regional variant; it also matches a French toponymic surname (from Albon in Drôme), occasionally adopted as a personal name.

Usage has been sporadic since the Middle Ages, buoyed indirectly by the cult of St. Alban, Britain’s protomartyr, which popularized the Alban/Albin family. In Anglophone records the given name Albon surfaces in the 18th–20th centuries, especially in the United States, but remains uncommon today. Variants include Alban, Albin, Aubin, Albano, Albín, and the feminine Albina/Albine/Aubine; nicknames Al and Albie fit naturally. Meaning centers on “white, fair” or “from Alba,” evoking clarity and purity; compare but do not conflate with Albion.
